Pheaby Chair

The approach used to construct the upholstered chair Pheaby, designed by Patricia Urquiola for Moroso, presents as an unusual antagonism between artisanal design and industrial thought, which resolves itself in the pure structural efficiency of the components. The legs, with feet rather more similar to a carpenter’s trestle than those of a chair, support a softly-rounded seat with no sharp edges.

Pheaby perfectly embodies the characteristics of its materials, revealing through versatility, subtlety and comfort the rational nature underlying the formal design choices.
