Kore – The Village project

Patricia Urquiola interprets the concept of home for Salvatori project ‘The Village’, which aims to reflect upon the changing role of our houses.
Her contribution is named Kore and consists of two small sculptures in marble, each made of a different type of stone: Alma, in Rosa Portogallo with its glorious colouring and veins, and Petra, in Travertine, an evocative and tactile stone.
Kore wants to tell about how the home has become the centre of our lives, our habitat. Petra and Alma evoke feelings of domestic warmth and intimacy, representing two worlds and two different yet complementary aesthetics.
