MOROSO Showroom 2009 by Ron Arad

moroso1

As a bit of a precursor to the next post, I visited the New York showroom of Moroso which were artfully decorated by sculptor/designer Ron Arad. Many original works were on display including the first pieces that he brought to his meeting with Patrizia Moroso. Glossy metallic creations mixed in with the production upholstery pieces in Moroso’s collection made for a rich and colorful showroom.

Curvaceous forms wrapped by natural fibers, beautiful for indoor and out.

A striking contrast to the clean lines of the Springtime series, two strong collections for the second year of B&B Italia Outdoor.
