KALIDA FUNDATION

Barcelona has recently inaugurated the Kālida Sant Pau center, an architectural space designed so that people with cancer and their relatives, friends and caregivers can experience oncological treatment in a pleasant and welcoming environment. The architect Benedetta Tagliabue has designed the building and Patricia Urquiola, together with her team at Studio Urquiola, has created the interiors. “As a designer, my objective is to create spaces where people feel comfortable and can live better, a goal that coincides with Kālida’s mission” explains Urquiola. With this in mind, she set out to collaborate with brands that align with the project’s philosophy and that agreed to donate their products for a great cause. Urquiola selected her own designs from GAN, the MANGAS ORIGINAL and MANGAS SPACE collections.
