Object functional furniture both indoor and outdoor use, O-Nest is a luminous presence, in some ways changing, versatile for the ability to be placed in different contexts: living spaces, offices, libraries, hospitals, kindergartens and schools. A presence strong, consistent, when viewed from a distance shows the rational and plastic plant, with the color to emphasize the aspect of “ultra-modern” suitable to the garden of the Villa Arpel Mon Uncle Jacques Tati; if taken close up, a relief decoration with floral motifs transforms it into a flowering bush, in a warm and cozy nest.

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.
