Spanish architect and Cassina art director Patricia Urquiola shares her approach to ‘the masters’ as curator of the brand’s Milan exhibition, Echoes, 50 years of iMaestri.
During this year’s Milan Design Week and Salone del Mobile, architect Patricia Urquiola opened her home to friends, which she described as ‘Hotel Urquiola’ – “I woke up this morning to a friend in my shower and another in the kitchen having breakfast,” she laughs.
Welcoming friends to her home aligns with the Spanish architect’s perspective on the fair. “It’s a week to share culture and for people to go away having experienced different attitudes, thoughts and emotions,” she says. “We have to enlarge the design conversation. It’s too closed,” she adds.
