Patricia Urquiola designs exhibit for Feria Hábitat Valencia

Considered to be one of the most influential designers of furnishings for interiors in the world, Patricia Urquiola will be contributing to Feria Hábitat Valencia 2010 with an exhibit that will review her best-known designs.

Her mastery of the language of design in the way she gives form to design concepts will be revealed once more in a new display that will illustrate her concern for the sustainability of the planet. The confidence to tackle designs using new technology, the use of synthesis and its language, a passion for colour and a delight in taking objects out of context are the features that identify this designer and architect and are sure to produce an exhibit that is truly different.

The exhibit hopes to convey how energy that is derived from natural sources that are inexhaustible – some on account of the vast quantities of energy they hold, others because they can regenerate naturally – has an influence on interiors.

The exhibit will be part of the space in which the leading European manufacturers specialising in contemporary design will show their designs for 2010 to specifiers, interior designers and other professionals from all over the world. The exhibit will be in Pavilion 6, which will house all Feria Hábitat Valencia’s avant-garde and contemporary product offering.

Urquiola’s exhibit will turn the international design spotlight firmly on Feria Hábitat Valencia. Her professional career underpins her prestige in the world of design: she works with leading manufacturers such as Moroso, Kartell, B&B and Molteni and has recently collaborated with Spanish manufacturers Gandía Blasco, Viccarbe and Ketall.
