Redondo is a set of seating elements designed by Patricia Urquiola for Moroso.Its distinctive theme is roundness,and indeed the name in Spanish means“round”.The system comprises a sofa and two snug armchairs that evoke an almost "protective" intimacy.The line and form of the structure are reminiscent of a brandy glass:it consists of two adjoining volumes that together form a cocooning seat, like a shell.It does not require the addition of numerous cushions.Redondo's curved shapes are accentuated by the complete absence of corners and by the soft fabric,chosen to offer sensory stimulation,and embellished with a quilted decoration in which the thread,like a pencil,draws elegant three-dimensional geometries.

Born in Oviedo, Patricia Urquiola attended the Faculty of Architecture of the Technical University of Madrid, where she graduated in 1989 having completed a thesis with Achille Castiglioni. From 1990 to 1992, she was assistant lecturer on his courses. Between 1990 and 1996, she worked with Vico Magistretti for the new product development office of De Padova and signed the products: “Flower,” “Loom sofa,” “Chaise,” and “Chaise Longue.”
Agostino Moroso, with his wife, Diana, founded the Moroso company in 1952 with an artisanal approach to making sofas, armchairs and furnishing accessories. Their iconic designs have propelled them within the upholstered furniture market, with help from a long list of well known designers: Ron Arad, Patricia Urquiola, Ross Lovegrove, Konstantin Grcic, Alfredo H?berli, Toshiyuki Kita, Marcel Wanders and others. Each piece maintains a noticeable Moroso style while representing other cultures as well. Its international outlook has landed Moroso into the MoMA in New York, Le Palais de Tokyo, the Grand Palais in Paris.
