Moroso Lounge Chairs
Moroso's swivel chairs for the living room
Swivel Chairs for Living Room: What Makes Moroso Lounge Chairs Iconic
Moroso lounge chairs are known for being sculptural, expressive, and deeply comfortable, often acting as signature pieces in luxury residential spaces, boutique hotels, and contemporary office lounges. Many models work beautifully as swivel chairs for living room layouts because their rounded forms, soft padding, and dramatic silhouettes allow them to anchor a space without feeling heavy. They pair seamlessly with Moroso sofas and Moroso side tables, creating a cohesive ecosystem of pieces that are both artistic and functional. Many customers look for a cozy reading chair that also stands as a sculptural object, and Moroso consistently provides models that balance comfort with bold personality.
Design Heritage and Artistic Direction
Founded in 1952 in Udine, Italy, Moroso has built its identity around forward-thinking upholstery and long-term collaborations with major designers. Under the artistic direction of Patrizia Moroso, the brand embraces experimentation, sustainability certifications, and a willingness to explore unconventional silhouettes. Patricia Urquiola’s Pacific and Redondo lines introduce cocoon-like softness, while Ron Arad’s Soft Big Easy and Victoria & Albert chairs bring fluid, oversized geometric forms seen in museums and gallery spaces around the world. These collections often appear as living room side chairs, elevating interiors through shape, texture, and presence. Urquiola’s lounge chairs continue to appear in global projects such as Il Sereno on Lake Como and residences in Melbourne and Punta del Este, reinforcing Moroso’s influence in global home luxury.
Construction, Materials, and Comfort
What sets these chairs apart structurally? Moroso uses high-density foams wrapped in luxurious fabrics, leathers, or textured textiles such as Kvadrat. Bases are engineered in steel, aluminum, or molded forms that balance stability with a sense of lightness. Many models excel as swivel chairs for living room environments, allowing you to turn easily toward conversation, a window view, or a television without repositioning the chair. The forms range from enveloping shells to wingback silhouettes, prioritizing tactile comfort and visual drama suited for extended lounging. Their generous proportions and soft lines make them ideal statement pieces in home luxury interiors without sacrificing comfort.
Key Lounge Chair Collections
The Pacific Lounge Chair by Patricia Urquiola—our customer favorite—is celebrated for its oversized curves and unique pillows that make it instantly stand out. It evolved from the Redondo collection, inspired by 1950s car interiors with quilted upholstery and gentle contours. Ron Arad’s Soft Big Easy remains a museum-worthy piece for its bold, fluid geometry, while Alfredo Häberli’s Taba introduces organic shapes with optional ottoman pairings. Diesel collaborations like Overdyed Reloaded add a textured, industrial edge. Many of these designs are selected specifically as swivel chairs for living room settings where comfort and sculptural presence must coexist.
Specification, Applications, and Real Projects
Moroso lounge chairs are widely specified for upscale homes, boutique hotels, corporate lounges, and gallery installations. Designers appreciate the customizable upholstery, vast fabric and leather palette, and the ability to coordinate with larger Moroso collections. The Watergate Hotel in Washington, DC, prominently features Moroso pieces—including Ron Arad’s Ripple chairs and Soft Little series—as part of a renovation that embraced fluid and curvaceous seating. Patrizia Urquiola’s lounge chairs also appear in projects such as Il Sereno on Lake Como and hospitality environments in Tel Aviv, further proving their enduring global appeal.
