Description
Big Mama armchair
The official Moroso page credits Massimo Iosa Ghini and dates this Big Mama armchair to 1992. A wood frame carries resilient polyurethane foam grades with polyester fibre filling; beech feet are screwed to it. The seat cushion uses the same foam and fibre construction, while the back cushion is goose down. Removable fabric covers are stated for the collection, with the page's listed exceptions. The official page keeps the armchair’s seat and back construction tied to this named format.
Story
The armchair format
In this armchair entry, the Big Mama construction is expressed through a wood frame, a varied-density foam seat and a goose-down back cushion. Polyester fiberfill appears in both seat and frame construction, and Moroso names screwed beech feet. The 1992 design is attributed to Massimo Iosa Ghini. The armchair page applies these construction notes to the single armchair format.
