GOGAN SOFA for Moroso
The name and inspiration for Moroso’s Gogan sofa come from Japanese culture. The shape of the sofa is reminiscent of flat stones moulded by natural elements that safeguard and adorn river and lake borders. Solid, yet not so smooth that they may be stacked on top. The design of the Gogan sofa retains the elements of the Gogan sofa in the same manner as precisely positioned and connected rocks maintain a balance in sculptures. The traditionally substantial design of a sofa appears lightweight thanks to a clever arrangement with gravity.
