Clarissa Chair

Overview

The Clarissa chair is listed by Moroso under Chairs with the line "by Patricia Urquiola, 2014". It is code 050 in the Clarissa data sheet, which also gives it a technical-tests block.

Construction

It is foam over a steel frame and a base in varnished oak. The data sheet words it as polyurethane foamed cold around a steel frame, standing on a painted oak base.

Specifications

• Wood finishes for the base: black oak, natural oak and natural oil oak
• Foam rating: CAL TB 117 (no flame retardants) as standard; a BS 5852 crib 5 version is listed
• Technical tests named for code 050: EN 1728:2012+AC:2013 clauses 6.4, 6.5 and 6.17, and ANSI/BIFMA X5.1-2017
• Dimensions: 56, 57 and 84 cm (axes not labelled on the drawing)

Code 050 and its tests

In the Clarissa data sheet the block headed Technical tests names the Clarissa chair, code 050, against several clauses of EN 1728 and two editions of ANSI/BIFMA X5.1.

Patricia Urquiola, 2014

Moroso's page gives the chair as Patricia Urquiola, 2014, and the data sheet header reads the same for the range. The designer text on that page lists the Medalla de Oro al Mérito en las Bellas Artes among her awards.
