DESIGN DECONSTRUCTED

Renowned designer Patricia Urquiola was inspired by the idea of breaking down structures when designing the Band collection of chairs for European furniture brand Kettal. The result is a design that combines repetitive angular shapes and showcases the materials used including aluminium, teak, fabric and leather.

Kettal’s Band collection comprises a dining chair and armchair, www.kettal.com.
