antibodi chair
Design Patricia Urquiola,
2006
Flannelette, stainless steel
"A beautifully created lounge chair from Patricia Urquiola would be the perfect seating arrangement for any home: “the design blossoms from a “cellular” genesis of petals sewn in triangular shapes, creating ample patterns“. Made from felt, wood and leather, the blossoms on the chair are supported by a stainless steel frame that does not draw attention from the incredible flowers that form the support of the chaise lounge. This versatile design can uplift your spirit in two ways: the petals can be facing upwards for a expressive and feminine look or they can be facing downwards for a more serious and elegant feel. The chair comes in two versions: black and white or a natural tone matched with a kaleidoscopic patchwork."

Born in Oviedo, Patricia Urquiola attended the Faculty of Architecture of the Technical University of Madrid, where she graduated in 1989 having completed a thesis with Achille Castiglioni. From 1990 to 1992, she was assistant lecturer on his courses. Between 1990 and 1996, she worked with Vico Magistretti for the new product development office of De Padova and signed the products: “Flower,” “Loom sofa,” “Chaise,” and “Chaise Longue.”
Agostino Moroso, with his wife, Diana, founded the Moroso company in 1952 with an artisanal approach to making sofas, armchairs and furnishing accessories. Their iconic designs have propelled them within the upholstered furniture market, with help from a long list of well known designers: Ron Arad, Patricia Urquiola, Ross Lovegrove, Konstantin Grcic, Alfredo H?berli, Toshiyuki Kita, Marcel Wanders and others. Each piece maintains a noticeable Moroso style while representing other cultures as well. Its international outlook has landed Moroso into the MoMA in New York, Le Palais de Tokyo, the Grand Palais in Paris.
