Cuadra-soft
by Patricia Urquiola, 2025
Cuadra-Soft was born from the collaboration between Patricia Urquiola and Moroso with the desire to make two fundamental dimensions dialogue: a specific idea of comfort with a form able to make explicit the archetype at the basis of the design intuition. A project that goes beyond the logic of the system to explore new design possibilities.
An essential abacus, with a rigorous and measured composition, but with generous volumes that invite comfort. The essentiality of the composition is combined with generous volumes, designed to accommodate. The soft and curved crease follows armrests and seats as a graphic sign, defining contours without rigidity. The legs, diagonally inclined, break the static, giving rhythm and lightness to the structure.
Balanced, versatile, Cuadra-Soft is a sofa that combines rigor and softness, form and function, designing a new standard of contemporary comfort.
