Marblelace

Regarding the Marblelace collection, Patricia Urquiola – who designed it exclusively for Budri – has spoken in this way:

“So I have tried to domesticate marble’s mimetic and shifting nature, bringing it into the real of everyday experience.”

In the Marblelace project, the figure of speech “Lightness of Weight” takes shape, juxtaposing totally contrasting concepts: walls of interwoven marble create an impression of flowing, soft movement, an airy consistency that is in contrast with the impenetrable hardness of the material. Self-supporting modular structures become filters, screening light and air, that are far lighter than a solid slab.
