Moro Armchair by Sebastian HerknerDimensions: D 80 x W 79.7 x H 78.5 cm Materials: SheepskinAvailable in different fabrics.‘Moro’ is a cosy cocoon of a chair. Named after a famous Venetian Doge, the design evokes the strong personality of an Italian palazzo’s lush interior. A warm and welcoming atmosphere that could never be forgotten. The chair consists of a single rounded volume, like a shell designed to make the user feel safe wrapped in its comforting arms. ‘Moro’s shape is inspired by castanets — cheerful and sensuous finger clappers used as percussion instruments. The design is both low and ample, with stable feet blending into an enveloping back. It is entirely upholstered in any of a range of rich materials: faux sheep skin, leather, smooth velour, etc. Its uniquely distinctive design will make this chair a valued element in any interior.Sebastian Herkner (born 1981) studied product design at HfG Offenbach University of Art and Design.
