Ludo Lounge
Made by Cappellini
Designed by Patricia Urquiola
Patricia Urquiola conceived the Ludo Lounge around a single, generous idea: that a chair should evolve with its owner. A structural shell supports padded upholstery that detaches completely, allowing the entire outer skin to be exchanged through one considered gesture. The chair asks for no permanent commitment to a single fabric, finish, or moment in time.
The form carries Urquiola's characteristic warmth. Softly sculpted proportions draw the body inward, reading as both composed and approachable, a combination the Spanish-born, Milan-based designer returns to consistently across her practice. There is nothing arbitrary in the silhouette; every curve is a studied response to how people actually inhabit a chair.
For Cappellini, a house whose identity has been built on collaboration with architects and designers working at the edge of possibility, the Ludo Lounge is a natural expression of that ongoing dialogue between craft, material, and forward thinking design.
