Description from the seller
Synthesis Between Research and Comfort: Sofa "Victoria and Albert" – Design Ron Arad – Original Moroso Production (2015) in Fuchsia Fabric
We present at auction a piece with great stage presence signed by Ron Arad for Moroso: the iconic Victoria and Albert sofa in its distinctive and vibrant fuchsia coloration. Born in 2000 on the occasion of the great retrospective devoted to the Israeli designer at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London — to which the model pays homage in its name — this seating marks a fundamental turning point in Arad's production, translating his research on organic and sculptural forms into furniture designed for everyday comfort.
Design and History: The "Good Form" Mediation Between Art and Function
The Victoria and Albert sofa reinterprets contemporary upholstery by surpassing traditional geometric rigor without yielding to the logic of conventional cushions:
Organic and Enveloping Geometry: The sofa is defined by a continuous line that draws a fluid and dynamic architecture, enhanced by the chromatic impact of fuchsia that highlights its silhouette from every angle.
Ergonomics and Sociability: Designed to offer a welcoming and informal seat, the sofa combines Arad's expressive formal language with ergonomic support conceived for real living room usability.
Lot Conditions: Excellent Usability Conditions (Removable Upholstery and Professionally Laundered)
The specimen presents itself in excellent overall usage conditions, with physiological and minor signs of time that attest its history:
Removable Fuchsia Upholstery: The original fuchsia upholstery is fully removable and has been recently washed and sanitized in a professional laundry. It is intact, free of tears or significant wear, preserving good color vibrancy with only some natural and light signs of use.
Structure and Padding: The internal steel frame and the cold-cured polyurethane foam padding maintain perfect density and elastic response, preserving the original fluid silhouette.
Authenticity Guaranteed: The piece's originality is certified by the Moroso official marks and labels under the structure.
