As featured in last week’s Surfaces Trend post, Quilty pleasures, quilting is a popular trend within upholstery design at the moment. Itlalian furniture brand Moroso are keeping ahead of the game by adding the option of quilted seats to three of its classic designs.  

For those preferring a more cushioned surface, three of Moroso’s classic chairs are now available with soft quilted upholstery.

The three designs that are available with the new quilted seat option are the Moon Chair by Tokujin Yoshioko, Take a Soft Line for a Walk by Alfredo Häberli, and Fjord Relax by Patricia Urquiola. The quilted seats are all offered with an optional zip-on/zip-off, polyester microfiber-filled quilted cover.  In addition to softness, the quilts provide a welcome splash of color and texture.

Moon, (2010) was inspired by the beauty of light and shadow on the surface of the Moon.  This most basic form has an implicit elegance with its clean, flowing lines.  While the original version was of recyclable roto-molded polyethylene, the quilted version is fully upholstered

Fjord Relax, (2002) is an asymmetric lounge chair characterized by the cleft that runs down the middle of the back.  It has a steel shell, with molded polyurethane foam cover.  The quilt zips to the chair cover.

Take a Line for a Walk (2003) is a modern interpretation of a classic wing back chair, providing an enveloping enclosure for a cocoon of comfort.  This year, it has been updated with the addition of a quilt to become "Take a Soft Line for a Walk".  It comes on a four star swivel base with optional ottoman or on legs with optional attached footrest.  There is also a two person version.   The quilt zips snugly around the contour of the shell.
