Moroso
Known for a legacy of material innovation and quality craftsmanship, Moroso produces sophisticated upholstered furniture for the hospitality sector and the luxury residential market. Since 1952, the manufacturer has been merging research and its tradition of forward-thinking design to create iconic sofas, chairs, tables and other furnishings.
Moroso was founded in Udine, Italy, by husband-and-wife team Agostino and Diana Moroso. Now under the artistic direction of the founders’ daughter, Patrizia Moroso, the manufacturer is one of Italy’s last family-owned furniture companies. Since its mid-century inception, Moroso has collaborated with many distinguished designers.
Swiss-Argentinian product designer Alfredo Häberli fashioned the Taba collection, including a sofa, two armchairs and several ottomans. Spanish architect and furniture maker Patricia Urquiola’s contribution to the Moroso family of products is vast, spanning a relationship that started in 1998. This includes the design of Patrizia Moroso’s private residence in northern Italy and a Lake Como hotel where the texture-rich, naturally hued guest suites also contain a selection of Urquiola furniture. Israeli designer Ron Arad is known for working with metal and for his thoughtful integration of technology in his furnishings. His Soft Heart rocking chair for the brand is built on a steel core. In 2009, Moroso partnered with fashion brand Diesel as well to create a furniture line featuring informal, distinctive and comfortable pieces.
Moroso is committed to environmental sustainability. In 1994 the company was awarded ISO 9001 production process certification by the International Organization for Standardization and ISO 14001 five years later.
Moroso’s furniture has been a part of exhibitions at museums worldwide, including MoMA in New York, Le Palais de Tokyo, Grand Palais in Paris, and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. They have also appeared in the Venice Biennale.

- Set of 6 Armchairs „SS 32“ by Anton Lorenz for Desta Stahlrohrmöbel GmbH 1930By Desta Stahlmöbel Gmbh, Anton LorenzLocated in Wien, ATExtremely rare and early set of 6 Armchairs mod. SS 32 by Anton Lorenz, manufactured by Desta Stahlrohrmöbel GmbH in Berlin, Germany in circa 1930. This early Desta mod. SS 32 was ordered with chromed tubular steel, rattan weave (shows patina and wear) and colored wooden armrests (in original condition, original black coloring still partly visible, production marking on the underside). Provenance: House Tanneck, Bad Wiessee at Tegernsee in Bavaria, Germany, Family Furtwängler, last Maria Furtwängler. About Anton Lorenz and Desta Stahlrohrmöbel GmbH: The Berlin company is one of the pioneers of modern tubular steel furniture DESTA. Very early on, she developed a trend-setting new typology for living room, bedroom and office furniture, which became decisive for the style of tubular steel furniture in the 1930s. When in 1929 the company STANDARD von THONET was bought by the former managing director, Anton Lorenz (1891 - 1964), the DESTA company. After only three years, DESTA with its elegant furniture range was also taken over by THONET. In 1929, Anton Lorenz acquired the rights to use the cantilever tubular steel chair with no back legs from the Dutch architect Mart Stam, and by 1939 he had become an eminence grise in the European tubular steel business. Like Marcel Breuer and Kalman Lengyel, Anton Lorenz came from Hungary. He was trained for school service. After marrying an opera singer, he came to Berlin in the 1920s. There he initially specialized in a shop for locks and fittings. Then he sold protective devices and safes before he appeared in the management after founding the company STANDARD Möbel GmbH. When handing over STANDARD to THONET, Lorenz wisely reserved the rights to the cantilever models then in the development phase. This resulted in the chair ST12 (at THONET B33...Category
