THEORETICAL STANDPOINT • CRITICAL REVIEW OF WORK THAT CAN INDICATE THE DESIGNER’S THEORETICAL STANDPOINT • From the work of Patricia Urquila, many of her designs show about her ideas which are about contemporaneous, fusion and relation between things. For example of the “Modular Kitchen” which can be seen within the fusion between her minimalist architecturalism fostered by her education and emotional and aesthetic sensibility. This was also adapt to the idea of fusion of Japanese traditional high-end style and Italian design in the “Molteni” • Moreover, Urquiola is also a furniture and product designer. She is a master of holistic objects which she has her emotional innovation that objects are not merely tools for life, they are tools for living. This show about her perception concerning about human living, how people use and live with those objects she has been designed. And concern about the innovative outcome as well. • Underpinning all her designs, Urquiola claims, is a motivation "to improve our everyday lives; not only in terms of ergonomics, environmental impact and other practical elements, but mostly on the intangible - virtual values perceptions, mental comfort and inner pleasure".

THEORETICAL STANDPOINT QUOTE • “I think time is a constraint to destroy and then reinvent. If you give me a constraint, I’ll accept it. But I always try to move it around, or to readapt it. Ecco! If you lock me in a room, well I’ll go out through the window! I always remember Achille Castiglioni, one of my mentors, and he always said that in industrial design you have the idea, the fantasy, the concepts – that’s the marmalade! – but the constraint of the brief is the bread. You need both in order to find structure for your ideas. ” • “I always think that the project I’m working on will be the best. ” • “I can think in hours, or even minutes. There is no such thing as losing time—it’s all valuable. ” • This quote attests her thought as the designer that says “time is valuable” and she would try to solve any problems or adapt anything within a constraint to make things better. It shows that she has a fighter heart and passion in being a designer. This could be her standpoint as an inspirational dimension as well as her emotional intangible value along with a tangible contemporaneous or minimal way of design.

HER WORLD VIEW • she thinks that the only way to grow is to break your own prejudice to be open minded. This shows her world view tend to be the Liberal because she is not over throw the existing order but she is kind of develop the existing thing and open to the technology and evolution.
