Shadowy Sessel M' Afrique Collection Moroso-Blau 16

Shady spot: Shadowy armchair from Moroso 

One thing is for sure - the Shadowy armchair will be an absolute eye-catcher in every garden and on every terrace. The eccentric design by Tord Boontje is reminiscent of a scorpion and looks extremely exotic. Not only the backrest, but also the armrests and the particularly comfortable seat are characterised by the dynamic lines. 

Art director Patrizia Moroso's aim with M' Afrique is to capture the exotic cheerfulness of the African continent. Senegal is also home to the small factory founded specifically for this purpose, where each design is skilfully made by hand. The polyethylene mesh is based on the weaving technique of African fishing nets and is as unique as it is robust. The steel frame, which Moroso has weatherproofed, contributes significantly to the stability.
