Moroso Fjord Amchair
FJORD ARMCHAIR
FJORD ARMCHAIR
Designed by Patricia Urquiola, 2002
From a piece of seashell, which has been broken and smoothed by the waves, Patricia Urquiola has designed a collection of seats for both the home and public spaces.
As the name suggests, there is a strong Scandinavian influence with references to Arne Jacobsen and the inlets of northern coastlines represented in the long cut-away.
Like a natural cycle where the shell is reborn through the effects of time and water, the chair becomes armchair and then stool.
Its broken form and abstract concept together become an object of design: smooth lines that support and envelop are picked out in decorative stitching in harmony with the essence of the chair’s structure.
Swivel armchair in injected flame-retardant foam over internal steel frame.
Square base in powder coated steel. Available with fixed (code 03K) or designed (code 03G) for the addition of cotton gel quilt (code 340).
