This is the Victoria and Albert armchair, designed by Ron Arad for the renowned Italian manufacturer Moroso. Conceived as part of a collection originally created for a retrospective at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, this sculptural piece exemplifies Arad's mastery of continuous, fluid forms.
Crafted from rotation-molded polyethylene, the chair features a seamless, organic silhouette that challenges traditional seating typologies. Presented in a crisp white finish, the material choice ensures durability while maintaining a striking visual lightness. The distinctive central void not only defines its aesthetic character but also provides structural integrity and ergonomic support. The manufacturer's mark is clearly embossed on the base, confirming its authenticity.
The armchair remains in good overall condition, retaining its structural soundness and original finish. It exhibits wear consistent with age and use, which adds to its authentic character without compromising its bold presence.
With its weather-resistant construction, this versatile design transitions effortlessly between indoor and outdoor environments. It serves as a compelling focal point in a contemporary living space, a minimalist gallery setting, or a modern garden terrace.
