In designing the Volant collection, Patricia Urquiola furthered her
research into the "skin of objects". Its upholstery is in fact Volant's
defining element.
“It has something of a Balenciaga gown or a Shogun's robe. Using the
body as a basis for transformation. Hiding the legs. Lined for greater
comfort, greater beauty. An elegant evening dress”. The seat may also be "dressed" in a simpler and less formal short outfit
which allows glimpses of the legs and hints at the body's shape while
maintaining its own identity. The third "dress" is close-fitting. It is
simply the seat's casing, which reveals the frame and highlights its
shape.
The composition is simple and self-sufficient. The base frame seems
orthogonal but it is really a trapezium so as to follow the lines of the
backrest and seat. This leads to a sharp contrast of regular and
irregular shapes even in the perception of the seat elements which may
seem flat but in actual fact have curved sections for optimum comfort.
