Concept
Hero is a full-bodied upholstery textile that particularly stands out for its uniform look and feminine, yet sporty colours. Though Hero is a woven textile, due to its finishing treatment, it has a felt-like surface, which is smooth and directionless. As a result, the textile shows colours at their very best and complements the shape of furniture well.
The extensive palette for Hero reflects Patricia Urquiola’s distinctive approach to colour design. It consists of muted, yet vibrant hues, which explore tonal associations, including a series of non-traditional interpretations of red.
