Patricia Urquiola presented the Shanghai Tip seating system with a vague Oriental inspiration. The new pieces represent very much Urquiolas's design style, simple, fresh, sophisticated, functional, perfect proportions and never banal. My favourite piece was Antibodi, a clever lounge chair also available as chaise longue; created from a cellular structure of reversible materials sewn in triangular shape, creating from one side a clean, geometrical structure and from the other side an extremely organic, flower petals like 3D pattern.
