Color Inspiration From Africa to Milan

Moroso 3

Colleagues and friends are back from Milan and they all seem to agree -- Moroso is the HIT of the Fiera show.  Once again, Moroso has collaborated with stellar designers and showcased their work.

Their focus was on an exhibit called M'Afrique -- a celebration of modern African culture including everything from the art of Nubian caligraphy to the photography of acclaimed Tanzania-born architect David Adjaye.  All the designers work realized for this exhibit integrates various African techniques and fabrics, like Ron Arad's Do-lo-rez (red and black blocks above).  It's  classic design that was reupholstered in African fabrics.

Overall, the colors are bright, pronounced and optimistic as Moroso ventures towards African inspiration.
