Andreu World
from UFL Milano Memo 2022
by UFL
Andreu World chose to launch it new collection at NeoCon in Chicago one week after Milan Design Week. And it was worth the wait – as the design house picked up six awards. However, at the well-attended DAAily bar Live Talk series, Patricia Urquiola did speak with Simon Keane-Cowell of Architonic on the eco-credentials and biomaterial innovations of the Nuez Lounge Bio armchair.

In unveiling its 2022 collections, Andreu World further demonstrated its commitment to a greener design sector, sharing how it’s reinvented its materiality and manufacturing to support circularity. New pieces by Patricia Urquiola, Philippe Starck, Benjamin Hubert and Alfredo Häberli represent progress towards sustainable furniture innovation. The brand is not only concerned with supporting wellbeing through design, but increasingly making that design more sustainable – from an environmental, social and economic point of view. Innovation in traditional techniques and craftsmanship are the hallmarks of Andreu World’s products – part of a heritage based on deep respect for those products’ natural materials.
