The Glas Italia Liquefy Design Side Table by Patricia Urquiola

Say goodbye to the simplicity of minimalism: The Glas Italia Liquefy Design Side Table by Patricia Urquiola celebrates a feast of lush decor with its flowing, organic patterns in transparent malachite colors, making it a wonderful example of the opulent, softly contoured design of the Spanish designer born in 1961. In this case, it is boldly interrupted and simultaneously emphasized by a radically geometric, linear, and almost harsh-looking base.

Purism is not her thing: The Spanish architect Patricia Urquiola, who lives in Milan, is among the most successful designers of the 21st century – perhaps because she is one of the few who did not join the global hype of purism, but instead remained true to her own playful and opulent style.
