Gemma

Gemma is an armchair with stress-resistant flame-retardant polyurethane foam in varied densities on resin-traded polystyrene.‎ Glides are in black polypropylene.‎Gemma collection covers are not removable.‎The Gemma collection was developed around the idea of contrast and experience derived from the perception of a shape.‎ The sharp asymmetry of its three-dimensional geometry contrasts the softness of the upholstery.‎ The multi-faceted profile is reminiscent of both a precious gemstone and of the compositions typical of fifteenth century Italian tapestries.‎ The collection represents a synergy between the complex geometries of Libeskind and the well-known expertise of Moroso.‎Libeskind has drawn a tremendous amount of inspiration from natural geological forms including crystals, gems and natural rock formations.‎ For the Moroso collection, the design is informed by the asymmetrical faceted design of gems to create both a sculpture piece for the home or office and connect to Libeskind’s large oeuvre.‎
