The Modernista collection by Moroso

Moroso Modernista includes an armchair, sofas and backless benches by Doshi & Levien, taking button details and straight proportions from tailored clothing.

Polyurethane and polyester padding cover wooden structures above slender powder-coated steel bases. Sofa formats range from a compact settee to larger three-seat designs, while square and rectangular benches continue the low horizontal outline. Fixed upholstery carries the restrained button pattern across the padded bodies.

The pieces. Three in the collection.
