Patricia Urquiola explained that Nuez starts from “the idea of creating a seat that folds like a sheet of paper”. The injected thermoplastic housing is expressed as a flexible surface that hugs the body when sitting. The folds and curves of the seat designed by Patricia Urquiola convey softness and materiality.
