Description
Overview
Edward Van Vliet created the Ariel armchair, which Moroso dates to 2016. Around the inner steel frame, Moroso uses injected flame-retardant polyurethane foam; the base is varnished ash.
Cushions and covers
Polyurethane foam is combined with polyester fibre in the seat cushion; the back cushion uses goose down. In the Sushi Edition, only the cushion covers are removable.
Story
Ariel in 2016
Moroso credits Edward Van Vliet with Ariel and dates the armchair to 2016. The official specification distinguishes the injected body from its separate seat and back cushions.
Layered seating
The seat combines a foam core with polyester fibre, whereas Moroso specifies goose down for the back cushion. A varnished ash base supports the internal steel frame and injected foam shell.
