Papiro Collection, designed by Patricia Urquiola for Budri explores the concept of lightness in marble, interpreting spaces and changing volumes.
Papyrus – from Latin papȳrus – represented an important turning point, a genuine revolution, in the history of writing, as it was easy to fold, light, therefore easy to transport.

The set up conceived by Patricia Urquiola to present the collection at Marmomacc is an alternating series of graphic patterns that unfold down to the ground.

The Bianco Sivec, Bardiglio, Bianco Carrara, Rosa Portogallo and salmon pink marble inlay unwinds to become a table top, a second skin supported by Chilean pine biscuit legs, where colour combinations of materials and objects dialogue together characterising the space. A mood of pastel shades onyx pale rose to aquamarine, deliberately different one from the other in terms of language and form identify the five patterns of the collection.
