Net worth

Love these Net box Cabinets by Patricia Urquiola as spotted at the Molteni & C stand in the Rho Fiera in April's Salone in Milan 2010. Slightly too ubiquitous Urquiola used a technique used for roof-panels in shops. The metal is stretched and laser cut to take away the illusion of weight when using metal. Not only clever, it looks great. Reminds me of Bottega Veneta and what their furniture should look like rather than the Poltrona Frau-esque conventional stuff their furniture line showcased this year at a showroom that you literally had to have a security pass to get into.
Full Net box, was released in 2009 with a leather upholstery

Bathroom Basics


No excuses to be dirty now that Italian Patricia Urquiola has brought out this lovely rustic tub teak shelfed tub for the Agape. Called the "Vieques", it was originally built for a luxury hotel in Vieques, Sao Paolo. This is the domestic version. Was displayed for the first time at the Via Durini store this week as part of the I Salone.
