Patricia Urquiola with Béatrice Grenier on Meta-Morphosa | In Focus: Transformation

Patricia Urquiola is a Spanish architect and industrial designer based in Milan. Since establishing her studio in 2001, Urquiola has gained international acclaim for her unique approach to design, which has produced an eclectic portfolio of product design, architecture, and art direction projects. Across four of Urquiola’s most recent exhibitions, transformation appears both as a generative stimulus and an essential characteristic of the designer’s outputs. In Meta-morphosa, Urquiola frames design as a living, open-ended process, presenting furniture and textiles that explore the continuous feedback loop between technological innovation and craft tradition. For Among-all, Urquiola experimented with cutting-edge production processes to test new methods of recycling and repurposing materials as textiles. The Other Side of the Hill responds to the drastic rise and subsequent collapse of the global human population, and Alchemica explores domestic space as a field of experimentation. Béatrice Grenier is a curator, writer, and editor based in Paris. Currently director of strategic projects and international programs at Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, Grenier curated in 2025 an exhibition in Venice presenting Jean Nouvel’s architectural project for the Fondation Cartier on the Place du Palais- Royal in Paris, as part of the collateral program of the 19th Venice Architecture Biennale. She also co-curated Exposition Générale, the inaugural exhibition dedicated to the Collection of the Fondation Cartier in its new spaces. This presentation was recorded at The World Around In Focus: Transformation program, which brought together speakers from a broad range of cultural disciplines, including architects, researchers, worldbuilders, and artists whose work invited more equitable and sustainable ways of inhabiting the planet. Taking place at LA’s Hammer Museum in 2026, the program was curated by Beatrice Galilee, founder and executive director of The World Around, and Béatrice Grenier, director of strategic projects and international programs at the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain.
