Inspired - Patricia Urquiola

I've been a long time fan of Spanish designer/architect's Patricia Urquiola's designs. They're unexpected and sculptural, a refreshing break from the norm. I have always wanted to use her Caboche pendant for Foscarini in a kitchen!

I love Barcelona or anything in Spain for that matter. Here is Patricia's design for the Mandarin Oriental in Barcelona.

    Lovely! The name is new to me, so thanks for the ups. Will investigate her further.

    Really fell for the wooden chair at the top.

    Happy weekend.
