Plumon,
by Patricia Urquiola
The new outdoor family designed by Patricia Urquiola
for Kettal is based on the concept of clothing, on
dressing and undressing furniture.
Adopting a tailoring approach, Patricia Urquiola designs
the new family with a reference to the characteristic
Brazilian spirit, which lives in abundant, roomy,
comfortable furnishings, somehow evocative of distant
landscapes and cultures.
For Plumon, Urquiola designs a light structure, on which
a tailored and padded dress is ‘moored’, wrapped. This
ribbed padding, characterized by stitching, as well as
being an aesthetic figure, fulfills the comfort of the
product. It is the fit that guides the aesthetics. With a
few simple gestures, the dress is placed on the rigid
teak structure and embraces it. An extreme ease of use
that becomes a real plus for an outdoor collection.
A comfort that is also emphasized visually, thanks to
the padded dress that generously also embraces the
armrests and the outside of the backrest.
