brook low stool
Design Tokujin Yoshioka,
2015
Designed originally for the new Issey Miyake flagship store in Brook Street in the heart of London’s Mayfair, Brook is an upholstered ottoman with a faceted profile where the cuts, designed as a function of the textile covers, bring to mind precious stones. In the seats however there is no refraction, no light. The name, as well as referring to the address of the London store, suggests the image of a brook evoking the idea of a river stone, moulded and shaped by the action of the water. A refined symmetry derived from observation of nature and the integration of its laws in the very act of designing.

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.
