Model : SL102
Designed by Patricia Urquiola for Moroso in 2000, the Lowland sofa is a
fantastic piece of modern design. Combining distinctive elements in an
innovative way, the striking result lingers in the imagination. The deep
seat acts as a chaise longue. Feet in stainless steel; cushions available
separately (see "Customise" below).
The Lowland is available as shown in cat T leather, or in the
manufacturer's full range of fabrics/leathers. Numerous other sizes are
also available.
Description
Patricia Urquiola´s proposal is absolutely innovative, too:
LOWLAND may be defined a
geoform, it recalls the large stepping stones of a river joint together by
an imaginative path that takes you safely to the other side. A series of
upholstered objects meant for interiors featuring a very strong influence
of design. A product for contemporary interiors where the traditional
concepts of constituting elements have been willingly ignored.
Lowland means that it is
a combination of the normal concept of a sofa and a new idea for furniture
modules: that mustn´t be considered single elements of the sofa that
compose angular solutions, etc. We are proposing simple and essential
elements such as the seat, back and arm rests; the seats are elementary
shapes, large masses conceived in different dimensions, that may be placed
next to each other to create a sofa or according to one´s wishes; the back
completes or rejoins the elements: two at a time, that may be interrupted
half way through or completely composed. The arm rests are strong and
impressive elements that are placed on the floor and bend upwards towards
the seat: formally defined and complex, these elements determine the style
and the personality and conclude the composition. No remakes of sofas that
have already been proposed, a seat modularity that features a very
rigorous formal solution. The name of the project, instead recalls past
memories: from Bob Dylan´s song; the country-side in the sad expressive
eyes of the LOWLAND girl.
