The Patricia Urquiola x Andreu World Bolete collection has been created as a series of retro modern furniture pieces that strike a balance between the past and the present. The range includes a table and chairs, which are all made with upholstery that's made using Pure ECO thermopolymer to give it a 100% recycled material profile that prioritizes circularity. The furniture pieces each have soft, fluid accents alongside ridged features that give it an 80s design era feel, while the color palette harkens to the preferences of today's discerning design-conscious consumer.
The Patricia Urquiola x Andreu World Bolete collection also prioritizes ergonomics for the chair to maximize comfort when being used in professional or personal spaces. The range was unveiled at the Workspace Design Show Amsterdam 2025.
