Blur is a study of architectural invisibility. Through the physical suggestion of disappearance the designer questions the relationship between form and background. A distortion in density makes it difficult to understand the true size of the piece, and this invisibility is made possible through the use of a new fabric weaving technique. The project is an excuse to create a new jacquard fabric which when applied to a three dimensional form, makes it difficult to really understand space, size and volume.

Marc A. Thorpe is an American architect and designer based in New York City. He founded the eponymous design practice, Marc Thorpe Design (MTD) in 2005 after studying architecture from the Parsons School of Design and currently serves as the principal architect and creative director at the firm.
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.
