The new Aquarel collection designed by Patricia Urquiola for Budri will be presented on the occasion of Milan Design Week 2023. This collection is an unusual combination between Classic Roman Travertine and Iranian White Onyx that creates a play of transparencies and chromatic nuances with pastel tones.
The tables have a sculptural and imposing approach, whose common denominator is certainly the monumental base. The large Living Table Aquarel, made of open-pore sandblasted Classic Roman Travertine, has a large rectangular monolithic top and a base made up of four geometric elements in Travertine perforated by delicate cylinders in Pink Onyx. The Pierce circular table, on the other hand, is characterized by the circular top in extra-clear glass which rests on a monolithic Travertine base also perforated by a mint green onyx cylinder.
Aquarel Low table is instead a circular top made of Iranian Aquarel White Onyx shaded in shades of green and pink and peach, which rests on the light green tray base. Aquarel Paravent is a screen formed by an alternation of four slabs of Iranian Aquarel White Onyx and four slabs of open-pore Travertino Classico Romano marble, supported by cylinders in Lasa Covelano marble. Finally, the large Tartan upholstery is inspired by the geometries of the Scottish fabric, but reinterpreted in a more dynamic key.
The installation for the Budri showroom also includes a large Aquarel Artwork, the protagonist at the entrance to the space. Made with a Travertine background, it is an exercise in materials that are extremely different from each other, but united by a play of shades created by the watercolor technique. This collection expresses the watercolor technique in a contemporary key, enhancing the stone surfaces with a new and pictorial language.
The Aquarel collection will be presented at the Budri showroom in Foro Bonaparte, 60. Budri, a company from Mirandola (MO), is renowned throughout the world for its excellence in the processing of marble and artistic inlay and has recently become part of " MESTIERI”, the division of the Somec group dedicated to the design and creation of prestigious interiors.
