Moroso

Moroso is an Italian furniture company founded in 1952 by Agostino Moroso, specialising in upholstered seating and design furnishings for homes and collective spaces. It has remained a family business, now led by Roberto Moroso with Patrizia Moroso as art director, and its identity rests on the meeting of manufacturing craft and creative research.

From the 1980s and 1990s the company opened to international designers – Ron Arad, Ross Lovegrove and Patricia Urquiola among them – and the product moved from furniture towards experimentation, with art, fashion and interiors feeding back into the collections. Recent work includes Urquiola’s Gruuve and Cuadra seating, pieces by Front and Ron Arad, and contract projects such as the Hamburger Sparkasse headquarters and hotels in Beirut.
