The Fergana Sofa by Patricia Urquiola
Patricia Urquiola has designed the Fergana Sofa for the Italian manufacturer Moroso.
From Moroso:
The Fergana collection displays the results of a careful study of textiles, which combine ancient weaving techniques from Uzbekistan with European industrial-manufacturing techniques. The collection is made up of an exceptionally comfortable, large-sized modular sofa which can become a monobloc. The frame is made entirely of wood. The sofa is not intended to be placed against a wall but as an island, which is the way Uzbek seating is traditionally arranged. Large cushions on the seat make the sofa particularly comfortable and snug.

Great photos. And very interesting design. But I cannot see how the seating is attached.

i’m a fan of most of patricia urquiola, however, the fergana sofa doesn’t do it for me. perhaps is the legs, or maybe the rounded cushions & backs making it look too traditional for me. and the flowered pillows definitely would kill this sofa even if it did look good.

The flowered pillows make this sofa more interesting, and the combination of traditional design and ancient ornaments makes it more attractive and unique.

Now that Patricia Urquiola has become an institution her designs are getting less interesting. Or does she rely more on her assistents?

To me it looks like a sofa for children. Not my style at all.
