Moroso

Bikini is a modular island sofa, design Werner Aisslinger

Life in the living room has changed quite a lot recently: families and their kids are “chilling” with different activities: reading, downloading files, writing emails, gaming, chatting with friends, watching movies on a tablet, relaxing, talking, thinking, meditating….

The traditional monodirection-sofa facing the TV is starting to fade out. The easy to arrange bikini-sofa landscape invites the sitter to decide the best composition according to the space available and activitiesThe project includes various soft components in 3 different heights – from a low daybed to circular seats or stand-alone pieces. Additionally small containers and coffee tables can be integrated and the tube metal frames with plantpotholders, small shelving units or curtains give various options to create special areas and zones around the sofa island. Simplicity, quality and the art of “collage” are the basic concepts and lifestyle mantra that have led Werner Aisslinger to create Bikini-Island for Moroso.”
