At today’s opening of the Heimtextil 2026 home textile show in Frankfurt, well-known Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola unveiled her ‘among-all’ installation, with its futuristic spatial elements including hybrid sculptures, inflated figures and hanging grid structures showcasing new possibilities for future interior design.

Drawing on sustainable and traditional materials reimagined via new technologies, highlights include a 3D-printed portal by Italian additive manufacturing specialist Caracol, produced with the robotic Heron AM platform and made from Aquafil’s Econyl chips, and a large LED wall on which motion sensors detect movement and use AI to morph show visitors into fantastical new creatures.

A hybrid sculpture is meanwhile made with Ohoskin, the Italian textile material derived from orange by-products and designed to offer a sustainable, high-performance alternative to leather.

Spread-out carpets and rugs and two hanging grids made from the mill waste of Rohi Textiles, based in Geretsried, Germany, create organic fields of texture and colour.

At its core, the installation reflects Urquiola’s ongoing research into material innovation and sustainability and demonstrates how the life cycle of materials can be embedded in the design process from the very beginning.

The ‘among-all’ installation builds on last year’s widely praised  ‘among-us’ showcase and can be visited in Hall 3.0 at Heimtextil, which runs until this Friday (January 16^th).

“I’m very happy to return to Heimtextil with the second chapter of our ongoing exploration into textile thinking,” Urquiola said. “This new landscape listens and responds, inviting visitors to gently activate the space through their presence.”
