Modular outdoor seating collection by Patricia Urquiola inspired by floating island landscapes. Insula reinterprets the concept of seating as an archipelago of soft platforms. Generous upholstered modules rest on aluminium bases, creating flexible lounge compositions that resemble islands in space. The collection emphasizes comfort, modularity, and architectural scale in outdoor environments.
About the Insula Collection:
The Modular Insula sofa is Patricia Urquiola’s updated interpretation of traditional seating used in traditional Arab Majlis,
where community members gathered to discuss events and local issues, entertain guests, build friendships, and have fun.
Formally, it is a rational modular sofa with very softened shapes and low height, with a Insula in the backrest that concentrates all the protagonism of the design and provides a decidedly horizontal emphasis. It combines carefully balanced proportions as an architectural element that can be subtly integrated.
Functionally, like the original concept of Arab Majlis, the main function of the Insula sofa is socializing. The multitude of configurations allows it to adapt to all kinds of social situations, both indoors and outdoors: from the reception of an office where one can find a place to work relaxed, to resting in a home or outdoors for sunbathing and having fun. Its modular design consists of an orthogonal aluminum base with very softened shapes where the seat cushion, very plush and comfortable, is located. The two sizes of its seats allow for various types of backrests: individual, double, angular, etc.
