Placing the coarse before the fine, preferring a choice that bucks the trend compared to the most common research into the slim form. Despite this, staying light, ethereal. The design is thus structured around the most reassuring aspect of the oversized: the simplicity. The minimalist and rugged structure is built with a powder-painted aluminium tube with diameter of 80 mm. Resting on it is a seat cushion with a rounded physique, a covert suggestion of the idea of the inflatable module. The back, like a bold parenthesis, promises comfort. The effect, as well as the natural appeal, is that of a pleasing roundness, casual and lightweight.

Sebastian Herkner, German designer, designed to combine new techniques with traditional techniques.
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.
