Support this solidarity design committed to the rebuilding of Valencia following the DANA disaster

Andreu World presents a solidarity design created by Patricia Urquiola with the aim of raising funds for the people and communities affected by the recent climate catastrophe in Valencia, the company's point of origin. It has been marketed through the company's international network so that the message of aid can reach as far as possible, and the profits generated from its sale will go entirely to this cause.

 

“Its design is deeply inspired by the emotional and physical impact of this natural disaster, showing a deformed appearance, as if the stool had been hit by the force of the water and challenged by adversity. The interwoven texture evokes the resilient spirit of a community overcoming hardship," explains Urquiola.

Solidarity, sustainability and social responsibility

 

Every time a natural catastrophe occurs anywhere, we should sit down a moment and think about whether there is a better way of doing things so that the world we live in can continue to be habitable. The consequences of the DANA in Valencia, where Andreu World originated, have been dramatic for a significant part of the population. We must not forget this and it is up to us to ensure that it does not happen again.

 

We must be mindful that everything we do today has consequences tomorrow and be aware that it is necessary to adopt sustainable practices if we want to have a future that is also sustainable. Right now there is the urgency to rebuild everything that nature has destroyed, being supportive is the first thing we must do, because that sustainability must also include the social aspect. Patricia Urquiola's stool is another way in which we can contribute to the future.

 

"This stool is another way to be able to contribute. It is manufactured by means of 3D printing using a biological, biodegradable and compostable material. Andreu World markets it through its international network so that this message of help can reach as far as possible. The profits generated from its sale will go entirely to this cause", explains Jesús Llinares, CEO of Andreu World.
