Patricia Urquiola Studio, officially named Studio Urquiola, is a multidisciplinary design practice based in Milan, Italy. It was established in 2001 by Spanish-born architect and designer Patricia Urquiola together with Alberto Zontone. The studio's activities encompass industrial product design, architecture projects such as hotels, retail spaces, private residences, exhibitions, and installations, alongside art direction and strategy consulting.
Studio Urquiola's output reflects broad international engagement, and its client list includes design companies like Moroso, Cassina, Flos, Driade, B&B Italia, Andreu World, Glas Italia, and major global groups such as BMW, Louis Vuitton, Four Seasons, Marriott, and Swarovski. Notably, Patricia Urquiola has served as Creative Director for Cassina since 2015, influencing contemporary furniture design.
The practice's architectural portfolio includes high-profile hospitality projects. For example, in 2025, Studio Urquiola completed the transformation of a 1950s Milanese landmark into the Casa Brera, a 116-room hotel where the interiors feature sculptural furniture, inventive lighting, and Italian marble surfaces. Another notable example is ‘Il Sereno’ Hotel on Lake Como, demonstrating the studio’s focus on site-specific design through the use of natural materials and integrating local color palettes.
Studio Urquiola operates both locally and globally, and is recognized for research-driven work across scales—from furniture to entire buildings. The team has grown organically since inception and has contributed to a wide range of design disciplines from product innovation to large architectural commissions.
