Patricia Urquiola's Hybrida sold out at Christie's for Capodimonte school garden

All pieces from Patricia Urquiola's Hybrida collection, created with students of the Istituto Caselli-Real Fabbrica di Capodimonte for EDIT Napoli, were sold at a Christie's auction. Proceeds will fund a didactic garden at the school. The collection features mutant porcelain organisms exploring coexistence among species and material experimentation. Director Valter Luca De Bartolomeis initiated the collaboration over a year ago, seeking funds for the garden. The school, located in the Real Bosco di Capodimonte, has a history of collaborating with renowned artists and architects, including Santiago Calatrava, who recently completed a decorative intervention in the Cappella di San Gennaro. The school's approach blends craftsmanship with contemporary design, aiming to create a 'small Bauhaus' in Naples.
