Kartell Usame Table

Born in Oviedo in 1961, Patricia Urquiola studied Architecture at the Madrid Polytechnic and at the Milan Polytechnic University where she graduated in 1989 with Achille Castiglioni as her supervisor for whom she acted as an assistant at the Milan Polytechnic from 1990 to 1992. From 1990 to 1996 she also acted as a cooperative with Vico Magistretti at the Product Development Office for De Padova. In 1996 she became a partner and designer at Studio Lissoni and Associates. However, in 2001 she opened her own studio where she looks after numerous designs, installations and architectural commissions. Her design work has also generated mass appeal in the creation of consumer products for Alessi, with her sleek modern lines and geometric inspirations. The Orloff bowl design is a perfect example of such characteristics. Created with the inspiration of an inverse geodetic dome, this bowl has been formed from a single sheet of stainless steel. It has been called a masterpiece and will continue to prevail as a contemporary work of art for the home table for years to come.

Serving the dual functions of magazine holder and table, the Usame is a complex and distinctive object that works well in varied settings. It is made entirely out of durable PMMA and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Its side bucket is perfect for storage purposes and makes the Usame an excellent side table, child activity table, poolside table or even a bed tray. The Usame comes in seven color options and comes decorated with a delicate gingko floral design that pays homage to art deco illustration.
