MoCo Loco have published the new designs of Patricia Urquiola for Moroso that will be launched at Milan Design Week this April. I have been expecting her new products - she is the designer who records the best achievements there each year. She is also my favourite designer and I have been following every product she has created.
As always Urquiola has the most clever practical approach - in hard times we do return to classics and established values. And what better values than the century old folk art? A revival of interest in eastern European folk art began last year and I expect that her Fergana collection will be a great success.
The other her new projects - Aden Sofa & Rift Armchair, at least in t
he way they look as color drawings at the moment - do not impress me.From all these the Fergana sofa - top - is the one that best combines the beauty of folklore elements with modern design. For those that are not aware - even though it is said that she has been using Antique Uzbek techniques, wooden base accessorized with a series of richly coloured cushions has been old traditional seating for centuries also here, in Bulgaria - similar example can be seen below.
