Patricia Urquiola’s work for B&B Italia marks further detailed study of the woven theme, which was successfully presented in the debut Canasta collection.
The 2008 Patricia Urquiola’s new Canasta series consists of new large circular seat, low tables and console tables with decorated ceramic tiled tops, an innovative solution in the field of outdoor furnishings, with products that maintain the same quality, aesthetical and comfort standards of all the B&B Italia’s collections.
Patricia Urquiola – Canasta
Patricia Urquiola approached the outdoors starting from the theme of woven patterns – reviving and personalising the concept with a traditional look in mind, but giving it a decisively contemporary look without using too much nostalgic influence.
The seating elements were inspired by the conical shape and weave that is similar to baskets, hence the name Canasta (the Spanish word for basket). Traditional Vienna straw, with its decorative geometric shape, is also a model for these pieces.
The traditional pattern was amplified, increasing it to macro-proportions compared to the original, and was used tomake a dramatic line of comfortable chairs and sofas.
A linear sofa in two versions, with high and low backrest, an armchair with the same alternatives, a large circular armchair and a sunbed, make up the Canasta collection. Ideal for the swimming pool area orthe garden lawn, these chairs are like pieces of “land art” that harmonize with the surrounding scenery.
The collection is enriched by a serie of tables and low tables with structures in white and black varnished steel and tops in ceramic tiles, with decorations that reproduce the cushions patterns in the shades of white, black, brown, cyclamine-colour and and tourquise.
