‘The Revolving Room’ is an installation by Patricia Urquiola which celebrated the designer’s first textile collection with Kvadrat; as well as her 2013 (and existing) furniture products for Italian manufacturer Moroso.

These fantastic images are of Patricia Urquiola‘s installation The Revolving Room that was on display at Moroso’s Milan showroom during Milan Design Week 2013. The installation was a celebration of the designer’s first textile collection with Kvadrat, which comprises eight designs, and her 2013 furniture products for Italian manufacturer Moroso. Over 50 three-sided fabric covered panels were placed around the perimeter of the showroom, revealing embroidered graphics as they randomly turned. The panels took a year and a half to produce.
Behind The Revolving Room, a series of Philips luminous textile panels were set-up, covered in the new Kvadrat fabrics, projecting a short film depicting the slow motion movement of revolving objects.
