2010 Designer Furniture World Cup: Holland 1 – Spain 0

Day two of the 2010 (smow) designer furniture World Cup and the first all female match: Patricia Urquiola against Hella Jongerius.

As expected Urquiola started in her typical robust, voluminous fashion as demonstrated by her work with the likes of B&B Italia, Cassina or Molteni & C. Against the more wily, formally adventurous Jongerius, however, Urquiola advanced only slowly with her classic “lounge” approach.

Switching to a more synthetic  “Kartell” Approach seemed to offer Urquiola more options, however Jongerius countered with the fully unexpected Polder Sofa for Vitra and the contest was decided; 1:0 for Holland.

The Group B table and all Group B results can be found here.

Hella Jongerius Fans celebrate her late win.
