Chair of the Day: Van Vliet’s Sushi

I’m moving in a new direction from my higgldy-piggeldy approach to Chair of the Day – at least for this week. I’m going to be focusing on a series of sofas and chairs designed by Edward Van Vliet for Moroso. The collection is called Sushi and I love its dressmaker qualities.

The collection isn’t new, but it was featured a few weeks ago in Brussells at their Design Fair.

The Sushi collection is a sophisticated wrapping concept inspired by universal layers, found also in nature and architecture. A sofa with a hard shell, medium firmness support pillows and comfortable pillows on the surface. Each layer distinguished by a different sort of upholstery. I love this idea. Whatever you think of the fancy thoughts behind the design, these are just plain beautiful.

The details are vibrant. I’m intrigued by the mix of color and pattern on this sofa. To find a list of retailers in your area, follow the link.
