The Corteza side table, designed by Patricia Urquiola for Kartell, is a striking example of where organic inspiration meets high-tech industrial manufacturing. It is part of a collection that explores the intersection of nature and contemporary furniture design. The name "Corteza" (Spanish for "bark") gives away its primary muse. The Corteza side table’s defining characteristic is its rich, tactile texture that mimics the rugged, furrowed surface of tree bark. It features a clean, cylindrical shape that remains minimalist, allowing the intricate surface detail to be the focal point. While the exterior is deeply textured, the top surface provides a smooth, functional area for placing items, creating a sophisticated play between the wildness of nature and the precision of human design. Staying true to Kartell’s DNA, the Corteza is crafted from technopolymer thermoplastic, specifically an earth-friendly recycled version in many of its iterations. Because of its durable plastic composition, the Corteza is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It is easy to move around a living space or patio, yet designed to be stable enough for everyday use.
