RESTRAINED EXAGGERATION

Photographed at Moroso founder Patrizia Moroso’s enviable home in Udine, northern Italy, these lounge chairs and sofa are all by acclaimed Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola (who also designed the chair on the cover). They reflect the designer’s special affinity for combining fresh takes on making techniques – as seen in the “stocking stitch” backrest on the Biknit chair (left) – with careful attention to comfort and usability. The Gentry sofa is all about “finesse”, says Moroso, and is the culmination of “a project whose origins lie in the search for meticulous and well-balanced comfort, restrained yet with a nod to exaggeration”. These are

pieces on which one can sit up and be enthroned – or simply lounge on, feeling utterly relaxed. moroso.it | patriciaurquiola.com
