More details here…

Designed by Patri­cia Urquiola, Relate is a refined twill weave uphol­stery textile crafted from Trevira CS, offer­ing a soft hand that recalls the feel of natural fibers.

At first glance, Relate appears mono­chro­matic, but closer inspec­tion reveals a dense, direc­tional weave combin­ing two unicol­ored yarns that seam­lessly blend to create a subtle faux-uni effect. This compact twill construc­tion draws inspi­ra­tion from the world of fashion, captur­ing a grace­ful sense of movement.

The textile’s visual expres­sion shifts with light, color­way, and viewing angle, as the stripe-like patterns tran­si­tion between hori­zon­tal, verti­cal, and diag­o­nal direc­tions — adding dynamic depth to its surface.

The versa­tile palette includes 35 color­ways, featur­ing confi­dent combi­na­tions of warm tones paired with closely related nuances. Patri­cia Urquiola explains: ​“Together with Kvadrat, we paired hues very close on the color scale to give more volume to the texture, result­ing in a monochromatic effect.”

Ideal for both contract and private inte­ri­ors, Relate balances subtle sophis­ti­ca­tion with durable perfor­mance. Slight vari­a­tions in appear­ance may occur during produc­tion, adding to its unique character.

Spain

Patricia Urquiola is one of the most influential voices in contemporary design. Born in Spain and based in Milan, she studied architecture at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and completed her education at the Politecnico di Milano under Achille Castiglioni. Early in her career, she worked alongside Vico Magistretti at De Padova and later led design at Lissoni Associati.

In 2001, Urquiola established her eponymous studio in Milan, working across product design, architecture, interiors, and creative direction. Her approach blends technical sophistication with human-centered sensibility, often combining craft traditions with innovative materials and form.

Since 2015, she has served as the creative director of Cassina, while also collaborating with global brands such as Louis Vuitton, B&B Italia, Moroso, Flos, Kvadrat, BMW, and Haworth. Her work is part of the permanent collections of major institutions including MoMA, the V&A, the Vitra Design Museum, and the Stedelijk Museum.

Urquiola is also active in education and cultural leadership, serving on the Advisory Board of the Politecnico di Milano and the Scientific Committee of La Triennale di Milano. In recognition of her contributions to the arts, she was awarded the Gold Medal of Merit in the Fine Arts by the Spanish government.

With an intuitive balance of innovation, emotion, and elegance, Urquiola continues to shape the future of design—across scales, disciplines, and continents.
