Budri and Valextra present MarVles

Budri in collaboration with Valextra presented MarVles, a multidisciplinary project created in collaboration with the designer Patricia Urquiola: a unique mix of craftsmanship and technology. Materials collide and connect through Patricia Urquiola’s vision: softness and hardness, warmth and coldness, stones usually used in architecture become jewels thanks to Budri’s manufacturing expertise.

The Iside Valextra is not just a canvas on which to create the project, but a timeless piece made precious by the intervention of Patricia Urquiola. For each bag the designer has conceived a layered design, recreated by Valextra through leather inlay techniques, and by Budri using the same technique with marble.
