She transposed her appreciation for 16th-century Indian design onto each piece in the collection, referring to the architectural style of the Mughal empire. Urquiola even travelled to India, exploring Mughal outdoor gathering spaces and designs while immersing herself in Gan's textiles. The resulting daybeds feature eye-catching patterns, upholstered in an indoor-outdoor fabric that can withstand any climate.

The piece was originally entitled 'A Space To Think,' inviting viewers to pause and reflect amid their busy schedules. The daybed is made of timber rods over pine, fashioned after the minimalist craftsmanship often found in Japanese architecture. Meanwhile, the textile screens add a more whimsical touch to the piece as they can move in several directions.
