Dudet Chair
Made by Cassina
Designed by Patricia Urquiola
The Dudet Chair emerges from Patricia Urquiola's instinct for softness as structure. Its compact, enveloping form draws from mid-century archetypes, the rounded back and generous cushion, and reinterprets them with the precision and wit that define Urquiola's practice.
Designed for Cassina, the chair sits at the intersection of domesticity and sophistication. The fully upholstered frame gives the piece a sculptural warmth, while its restrained proportions allow it to inhabit intimate residential settings and formal contract environments with equal confidence.
