The new [Moroso](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-upholstered-seating) designs are very contemporary and lackluster in color. From a distance, the showroom looks like it is filled with paper--mountains and stacks of it. But when it is closely examined, the designs are really [abstract shapes on the ceiling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/discorectangle).

The lack of colors in these Moroso designs work because they've added [bold furniture to catch the eye](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marea-collection). Even in their second showroom, there isn't much color. Neutral shades with a pop of colors is the most you'll see in the Moroso design showroom.
