Octopoda

During Copenhagen’s 3 Days of Design, Patricia Urquiola designed Octopoda, an installation for Kvadrat featuring the innovative Sport textile she created in 2023. Made from 100% ocean-bound plastic waste, Sport is the world’s first recycled polyester upholstery fabric. Urquiola brought this material to life with a larger-than-life octopus sculpture, using vibrant shades of Sport to reflect the ocean’s colors. Each tentacle showcased the textile’s versatility, underscoring a powerful message about sustainability and repurposing waste.
