Inspired by nature, the Gogan sofa, by Patricia Urquiola for Moroso takes its name from the Japanese stones that come to protect and embellish the banks of rivers and lakes. The shape of the sofa is reminiscent of a flat stone, sculpted by wind and water, both resistant and soft. As in rock sculptures, where stones maintain their balance by being carefully placed and fitted together, it is the form that maintains the balance between the elements of the Gogan sofa. The seat is soft, uneven and has a centre of gravity that slopes slightly backwards. This detail gives the sofa exceptional comfort and allows the backrest to be lower. The backrest and seat are connected by supports, which give the sofa a feeling of lightness, so that it seems suspended above the floor. The aesthetics of the sofa are enhanced by the upholstery, in line with Moroso’s philosophy that a fabric is never simply an upholstery, but is also an important part of the design. The 70s-inspired fabric, recently rediscovered in the Moroso archives, gives the Gogan sofa added value, replicating the surface of a pebble through its rich texture, which conceals seams and gives organic surfaces a uniform appearance. The small cushions are not included in the price.
