Modern furniture designer Patricia Urquiola debuted a brand-new collection of contemporary upholstered seating during Milan Design Week 2023. The collection was designed for Moroso and titled 'Lowland'—because the furniture in this capsule tends to sit lower to the ground. Lowland was first released in 2000 and now, Patricia Urquiola has upcycled the designs into the Mr Loveland, and Mr Loveseat.
The Lowland capsule includes a range of seating options, including chairs, sofas, and lounge chairs, each with its own distinctive style. A key eye-catching feature of the contemporary upholstered seating collection is the bright color palette that the designer chose to work with. The designs are characterized by a balance between functionality and aesthetics, with a focus on comfort and ergonomics.
