It’s a Patricia Urquiola celebration at Moroso USA, 146 Greene Street, New York. The showroom is currently filled, top to bottom, with a range of Urquiola’s work, celebrating her long partnership with the company. Moroso will be featuring some of her newest pieces, such as Silver Lake, Klara, and Redondo, as well as her classic collections including Fjord, Lowland lounge seating, Antibodi, and the more recently released Tropicalia and Bohemian collections.

Lowland, designed in 2000 is the longest living piece of Urquiola/Moroso oeuvre. Since then, Moroso and Urquiola have enjoyed a long and fruitful relationship designing not only furniture but also the New York Moroso store in Soho—Urquiola’s first US interior project.

Silver Lake

Silver Lake

Urquiola and Moroso have created an architectural style that looks back to Californian modernism of the ‘50s. Silver Lake, a name taken from the Los Angeles neighbourhood famous for its architecture of this period, is composed of a sofa, an armchair and chair, all displaying a geometric interplay of solids, voids, and volumes of many-sided polyhedral forms.

Klara

Klara

Klara is a series of wood chairs, originally launched in Milan 2010 and expanded with a new settee, rocker, footstool, and tables this past April. The design works on a simple, linear aesthetic that is harmonious in its curved yet essential shape. The woven cane structure, a hand crafted technique practiced in Friuli for over a century, is both functional and decorative, and calls to mind the first serial productions of the early 20^th century.

Redondo

Redondo

A group of seating elements with a distinctive theme of roundness. The system is comprised of a sofa and two snug armchairs that evoke an almost protective intimacy.
