Victoria and Albert Armchair

The collection Victoria and Albert emerged with the aim of connecting innovative design with comfort and a soft seat feeling. The concept is then completely different than the “cushioned sculptures” from Ron Arad that were presented in the Moroso catalogues for years. Victoria and Albert is ideally adapted to be used by more people and different events.

The armchair shows a “good form” that can communicate design and function and knows how to connect enthusiasm for innovation and technology with a comfortable outstretched relax-position without following the “dictation of the giant cushion”. Also in this case the designer doesn’t want to create an icon, but a product that can be used normally and that offers a lot of comfort beside the aesthetic appearance.

The name Victoria and Albert honours the famous London Museum that has an important exposition with selected works from Ron Arad since June of 2000. The huge success of the collection Victoria & Albert was the motivation for Moroso of researching material and technology more intensively, but without changing formal features.
