Antibodi
by Patricia Urquiola, 2006
A new shape for an unpadded seat, three-dimensional geometry developed from the cellular genesis of sewn petals following the order of a triangular graphic structure. The result is a flower explosion, a prodigious symbolic manifestation of fertility. Antibodi is vital energy, archetype of great and ambivalent charm. The petals give life to a bearing coating, subsequently fixed to the stainless steel frame. The covering assumes a double function, welcoming, feminine with petals facing upwards, purposely severe and matelassé with petals facing downwards. Antibodi is also available in chaise longue version, with a real “floral carpet” that accompanies the entire seating surface.

Her work ranges from the creation of objects to installations, architecture projects, showrooms, hotels, scenography and private homes.
