Fjord Chair

The original inspiration behind the Fjord chairs for Moroso is a simple piece of seashell, broken and smoothed by the waves. A collection of seats for the home or for public spaces, the strong Scandinavian influence of the collection is manifest, with references to Arne Jacobsen, and to the inlets of northern coastlines represented in the long cut-away. Like a natural cycle, where the shell is reshaped into life through the effects of time and water, the chair becomes armchair and then stool. Its broken form and abstract concept merge into an object of design: supporting and enveloping smooth lines are picked out in decorative stitching, in perfect harmony with the essence of the chair’s structure.
