  • The piece

    The Matelasse vase, designed by Patricia Urquiola for Kartell, combines texture, color, and transparency in a distinctive design. Made of transparent or opaque PMMA, its surface mimics the soft, padded look of quilted fabric, creating a tactile play of light and reflection. Versatile as a vase or decorative container, it brings a touch of elegance and whimsy to any interior. A perfect balance of softness and solidity.

  • The designer

    The most influential Spanish designer of the 21st century. Based in Milan, Urquiola combines memory, craftsmanship, and digital technology with a feminine and exuberant sensibility. She is relevant for her mastery of textures, color, and "high-tech" weaving. Creative director of Cassina, she redefines contemporary luxury by making it tactile and empathetic. Her importance lies in humanizing current industrial design, bringing warmth and emotional narrative. Her furniture pieces are the focal point of any modern interior, mixing artisan tradition with futuristic innovation.
  • The brand

    Kartell is the brand that taught plastic to be noble. Founded in 1949, it revolutionized the market by applying industrial technology to polymeric materials, creating lightweight, colorful, and transparent design furniture. Under the direction of Claudio Luti and with designers like Philippe Starck, they created global hits like the Louis Ghost chair or the Componibili by Anna Castelli. Kartell is the symbol of democratic and glamorous "Made in Italy". Today, it leads with its "Kartell Loves the Planet" commitment, using recycled bioplastics. It is the ideal choice to add a touch of irony, modernity, and durability to any indoor or outdoor space.
