Story
Two bases, one weaving
In the product sheet the chaise longue appears with a varnished base (TR0470 and TR1470) and a stainless steel base (TR0471 and TR1471). It is shown with weaving A only; the sheet describes two weaving patterns, diagonal or perpendicular, depending on the colour variant.
Patricia Urquiola, 2008
The Moroso page credits the chaise longue to Patricia Urquiola with the year 2008, and the product sheet opens with a sentence on the turn of the wire: similar to a pencil stroke, marking a surface that is at once graphic and structural.
