Description
Overview
The Bohemian armchair is credited to Patricia Urquiola and dated 2008 on Moroso's product page and data sheet ("Design Patricia Urquiola - 2008"). The page lists it under Armchairs; the data sheet gives it the code 001 and shows it in the Bohemian collection next to a small armchair (061), a chaise longue (036) and sofas.
Construction
Moroso's page describes injected flame-retardant polyurethane foam over an internal resin frame, with a steel base in a powder coat finish and removable collection covers. The 2025 data sheet names cold-foamed polyurethane around a resin structure inside for the armchairs; the standard foam meets CAL TB 117 without flame retardants; a BS 5852, crib 5 variant is listed as well. The base is powder-coated steel, swivel for armchairs 061 and 001.

Story

Page and data sheet
The product page summarises the armchair as injected flame-retardant polyurethane foam over an internal resin frame, with a powder-coated steel base and removable covers.
