Volant Va Va Va Voom


The customization craze continues with Patricia Urquiola's latest for Moroso. Her 'Volant' range consists of a sofa, armchair, chair and stool whose upholstery length can be adjusted to suit the occasion. If that sounds a lot like getting ready for a night on the town, well, that's exactly what the designer envisioned.

The furniture can switch from "... an elegant evening dress," where the base is hidden to a shorter number that, "bares the legs and reveals the contours of the body..." Sounds a little racy for a sofa, but I love the colors and the visible edges of the fabric.

This is Urquiola's feminine approach to design like in most of her furniture, but here to a higher extent, which is a little too much for me. Still, she continues to be my favourate contemporary designer.
