Story
Two trestles and a curved back
Mathilda is a modern design in the architectural sense, built on the proportions between whole and detail. Its concept rests on two trestles that give solidity and affinity while holding the seat and supporting the backrest.

This version is the armchair, coded MA3001 in the Moroso configurator. Patricia Urquiola's design is presented as a seating system that is coherent, practical and instantly recognizable, and it carries wraparound armrest covers.
