patcha designed by patricia urquiola
A captivating composition of color and pattern comes alive in Patricia Urquiola ’ s latest collection for cc-tapis , Patcha . Utilizing the patch-work spontaneity of mixed- media collage , Urquiola expresses the gesture of overlapping and assembles strips of mint green , lavender , taupe , burgundy and speckled technicolor fields . Layering one atop another to create inventive graphic compositions .
“ I tried to emphasize the concept of spontaneity ,” says Patricia for the process .
A myriad of textures , pile heights and colors meet in each rug , utilizing sustainable dyeing techniques which use less water and novel materials like cast- off silk from Indian Sari production . Central to Urquiola ’ s creative process is the investigation of reused and upcycled materials , breathing new life into once discarded wool . The speckled technicolor fields are created by using left-over silk and surplus wool taken from the production from previous rugs . The result is a combination of woolen fragments that resemble jagged papers and colorful cardboard , assembled in an extemporized composition .
