Patricia Urquiola's Nina Lounge Chair for Andreu World Debuts in Dezeen Showroom
The Nina lounge chair, crafted by Patricia Urquiola for the Spanish furniture company Andreu World, was highlighted in Dezeen Showroom on September 17, 2026. This design takes cues from Diego Velázquez's 1656 artwork, Las Meninas, particularly the large, enveloping crinolines of its figures, while also celebrating the bold aesthetics of 1970s furniture. Its rounded, pebble-like silhouette features a sculptural back formed by a continuous curve. Unlike traditional upholstered chairs, the Nina incorporates a hard back shell made from Andreu World's Pure ECO thermopolymer, derived from 100 percent recycled polymer waste. Available in glossy or matte finishes, the shell has a textured relief that evokes natural stone. The seat is crafted from premium foams and tailored upholstery, designed for both home and professional settings, encouraging relaxation. The Nina lounge chair can be purchased through Andreu World at london@andreuworld.com. Dezeen Showroom serves as an affordable platform for brands to unveil new products, while also promoting its quarterly newsletter featuring editor's selections.
