Gogan Sofa

Gogan Sofa

DESIGNED BY Patricia Urquiola
FOR Moroso

The Gogan sofa takes its name from nature and in particular from Japanese stones rendered smooth by time and water, which provided the inspiration for this project bearing the signature of Patricia Urquiola.

The sofa’s form in fact reminds us of flat stones sculpted by wind and water, solid yet smooth enough that you can lie on them.

Just like in rock sculptures, where stones maintain their balance by being carefully positioned and interlocked, it is the shape that maintains the balance between the elements on the Gogan sofa, which is not overly regular. By playing around with gravity and balance, we can make normally heavy shapes lightweight.

The seats are soft and irregular with the centre of gravity being slightly inclined towards the rear. This gives the sofa exceptional comfort and allows the backrest to be kept lower. The backrest and seat are joined by abutments, which lend the sofa a sense of lightness, so that it appears as if it was suspended above the ground.

Its sleek shapes are emphasised by the choice of coverings, which enhance and reinforce the aesthetic. The 70’s inspired fabric gives the Gogan sofa’s concept an added value, by reproducing the surface of a river stone through its rich, deep, direction-free bouclé texture, which conceals the sofa’s seams giving to the smooth and organic surfaces an even appearance.
