Designer Patricia Urquiola added a line of modular outdoor tables to her existing collection with Spanish furniture brand Kettal. The new offerings tie in perfectly with the extended patio furniture capsule, as the shapes seamlessly translate themselves into the outdoor setting. Patricia Urquiola created two sizes of the product while emphasizing the importance of customization.
The modular outdoor tables enjoy a "post-modernist" aesthetic, as described by the brand, and boast interchangeable tops and bases. Patricia Urquiola makes her furniture creations available in different materials — aluminum, powder-coated aluminum, teak and marble. With an abundance of agreeable, bold and pastel colors for the circular tops and the chunky cylinder bases, the modular outdoor tables boast over 1,000 possible combinations of materials and colors.
