Диван Moroso OTTOMAN

Ottoman is a settee with injected flame-retardant polyurethane foam over internal steel frame.‎ Seat and back cushions are polyester fiberfill over flame-retardant polyurethane foam and memory foam chips.‎ Legs are steel with powder coat finish.‎ Ottoman collection covers are not removable.‎

A new fabric for a new way of sitting.‎ This new way of sitting of Ottoman collection will probably be more like lying.‎ The seat height is lower than usual, and the furniture’s open design allows for more freedom of movement.‎ Spatial dimensions, layered patterns and colour use are central considerations in the fabric design.‎ Scholten & Baijings’ first sketches and scale models consist of soft, rectangular ‘Daybeds’ that offer multiple uses: sitting, leaning against, lounging or lying down, alone or with each other.‎ The use of futons, as customary in typically Japanese rooms, served as an important source of inspiration.‎
In the second sketch phase the idea emerged to use the old Ottoman Empire as an imaginative starting point.‎ A footstool is also called an Ottoman.‎ Ottoman history provides many magnificent examples of decorative interior fabrics in combination with low seating elements, intended to encourage social interaction among people.‎ Images evoked are those of tea drinking, the use of a waterpipe, or the enjoyment of a shared meal.‎ In addition, numerous examples exist of fabric designs in vibrant colours and with clear graphic patterns, used in wide-open, spacious interiors.‎
The furniture design is unlike that of the fabric.‎ The Ottoman’s design is characterized by rounder, softer and more organic forms.‎ This is in contrast with the fabric’s angular colour compositions and creates a magnificent symbiosis.‎ However, both designs also work very effectively on their own.‎
