Our pick of the month: Moroso's Take a Line for a Walk Chair
Alfredo Haberli explores the basic beauty of the line in his 2003 design for Moroso; Take a Line for a Walk Chair. He describes how his inspiration came while "reading a book about Paul Klee in which he said that when he was drawing, it was like taking the line for a walk. This expression gave me the final theme to design a lightweight structure for a lounge chair with enormous wings. The upholstered version of this came a year later. To be able to sit in it without being concerned about one's shoes was a small detail in this autonomous structure." See more of this piece along with other Moroso designs at www.moroso.it
B&B Italia's Up Series
In 1969, C&B Italia, (the company from which B&B Italia was born), and Gaetano Pesce joined forces to create the Up Series of seating. When Gaetano Pesce was asked about the original design intent he said, “I was telling a personal story about my notion of women: despite themselves, women have always been prisoners of their own making. Along these lines, I liked the idea of giving this armchair a feminine shape with a ball and chain, the traditional image of the prisoner.”
These iconic pieces were originally vacuum packed as to allow them to expand once they came into contact with the air. Production later changed to polyurethane foam upholstered in stretch fabric.
This year marks the 40th Anniversary of the Up Series. A special edition Up Chair in Silver has been issued for production during this year only. Happy Birthday UP!
