Patcha Rug Collection

Designed by Patricia Urquiola, the Patcha Rug collection interprets the concept of gesture through the imperfect assemblage of spontaneous collages, and captivating compositions of colour and pattern. The patch-work spontaneity of mixed-media collage have been translated into full size rugs with a myriad of textures, pile heights and colours that define the character of each rug.

Using discarded wool, Urquiola reinterprets the change of mentality, of moving common habits and creative flows towards sustainability and circularity. The result is a combination of woollen fragments that resemble jagged papers and colourful cardboards, assembled in an extemporized collage. The implemented dyeing technique creates random colours on the wool, emphasizing the concept of spontaneity and experimentation. The graphic lines of the rugs are made out of silk, obtained from Indian Sari vests. Borders of the rugs are irregular, giving the impression of an in-progress design. They are linked together creating a spontaneous shape.
