Диван Moroso CASA MODERNISTA

This Modernista collection – despite its roots and references lying within Modernism – distinguishes itself with its ambitious attempt to integrate the figurative component, representative of Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien’s work, to the linear rationality of the rectangle geometric shape.‎ The result, from a formal innovation point of view, is an achievement.‎ The two designers contrast the classical composition, from the meticulous attention to the surface and material performance to the highlighting of a few meaningful traits: the central button denies and simultaneously reworks the capitonné padding bourgeois charm, while the base, revised through colour choice and the use of steel, tempers the aesthetics of industrial manufacturing.‎ With Casa Modernista – a subtle homage to Gregori Warchavchik, Russian-Ukrainian architect responsible for promoting modern architecture in the 1920’s Brazil – the formal precision and objective sobriety of the prior models is tempered, opening itself to relaxation and spontaneity.‎

The cushions lose stiffness, the seating becomes deeper and welcoming, the lines softened.‎ The sofa, through this change, becomes a space where opposite interpretations of time transit: productive and disconnected, social and personal, temporary and continuous.‎ Casa Modernista completes the project with several sofas displaying adjusted dimensions and comfort.‎ Thought to be used in a home environment, the sofas still retain the concept essential details.‎
