TENDER VIS-A-VIS By Moroso
Designer: Patricia Urquiola
Manufacture year: 2015
Type: 2 seater vis à vis fabric sofa
Patricia Urquiola confirms her intuition and designs a modular system that is new in form and construction. The approach is technical: an aluminium frame, rounded wooden legs, abundant cushions, small tables and horizontal surfaces. Few components, easily assembled and interchangeable. The outcome surprises and deceives the senses. The fullness of the modules is contrasted by the lightness of platforms that, like imaginary stilts suspended on the floor, seem to defy gravity. The legs, apparently extraneous to the frame, are pillars where they can be anchored and aggregated in multiple compositions: For the upholstery, a wool jersey - soft, elastic in both length and width - supports the shapes, delineated with elegant accuracy by the pleats, as a continuation of the investigation begun with M.a.s.a.s. in 2012. Seat in fire-retardant polyurethane foam with differentiated densities and polyester fibre on an aluminium frame with polyester/PVC composite stretched mesh. Backrests/arms in fire-retardant cold-foamed polyurethane and polyester fibre with internal steel frame. The legs are made of powder-coated cast aluminium, with optional upholstery in natural varnished turned ash. Polypropylene insoles. The Tender collection has removable covers.
