Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the Moroso Arco Lounge Chair?

The Arco was designed by Martino Gamper, the Vienna-born, London-based designer known for his conceptual approach and close engagement with craft processes. He created the piece as part of Moroso's M'Afrique collection.

What is the Moroso M'Afrique collection?

M'Afrique is a Moroso collection developed in collaboration with designers and artisans across Africa. The pieces are produced in local workshops, with the Arco specifically made by hand in Dakar, Senegal, preserving and channeling regional craft expertise.

What material is the Arco chair woven from?

The Arco is woven from cord traditionally associated with fishing net construction. In the hands of Dakar artisans, this industrial material becomes the primary decorative and structural element of the chair's seat and back.

Is the Arco suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. The Arco is designed for outdoor environments. The materials and construction are selected with exposure to the elements in mind, making it appropriate for covered terraces, gardens, and other exterior settings.

Is each Arco chair unique?

Because the weaving is done entirely by hand in Dakar, variations in color, tension, and pattern are inherent to the process. Each chair is considered an original, one-of-a-kind piece rather than a precisely replicated production object.
