Cc tapis - Cirrus blue carpet

Venus Power, a sign of life, a Manifesto signed by Patricia Urquiola. The black lines define the perimeter of the floating shapes and identify the individual letters that make up the phrase "We all come from Venus". A mission statement that alludes to Graffiti Art, also applied in the hypnotic texture collections: a vortex of color inspired by the intriguing atmospheres of Venus.
