belt sofa
Design Patricia Urquiola,
2016
Comfort and softness above all else. An open-source sofa, a design choice that favours the comfort of the seat, which seeks to look and feel softer and cosier than ever. The structure is encircled in knitted belts that interweave with the soft cushions, inducing a state of pure relaxation. The folded covering emphasises the carefree, undefined shape, further accentuated by the use of knitted fabric for the belts that hold it in place. A destructured sofa with an unusual formation: the aluminium frame can be freely assembled, combining the different components, which work together to offer a variety of harmonious customizations.

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.
