Patricia Urquiola originally designed the Lowland upholstered seating collection for Moroso back in 2000 and now it gets a new elevated look for Milan Design Week this year. The new looks are Mr. Loveland and Mr. Loveseat, which is an upholstered seating system and a modern armchair.
Starting with Mr. Loveland, it takes the original concept and brings a more compositional touch to the range with softer forms that are defined by the solid wood base that replaces the tubular steel structure. The wood comes in the color options of Honey, Tropical Wood, or Coffee. Mr. Loveseat is an evolving version of the original Lowseat with a strong silhouette that boasts a bold structure and tapered design.
