Who designed the Moroso Gemma armchair and when?

The Gemma armchair was designed by Daniel Libeskind for Moroso in 2015. Libeskind is best known for his architectural work, including the Jewish Museum Berlin and the Ground Zero master plan, and the Gemma directly translates his angular, geometry-driven language into furniture form.

What is the internal construction of the Gemma armchair?

The Gemma is built around a welded steel internal structure with cold-injected polyurethane foam that is flame retardant. This combination gives the faceted outer form its structural integrity while providing a comfortable seat.

Can the upholstery on the Gemma be removed or replaced?

The upholstery on the Gemma Small Armchair is non-removable by design. This is an intentional formal decision: a fixed cover preserves the sharpness of the chair's angular facets and ensures the geometric silhouette reads exactly as Libeskind conceived it.

Is the Gemma armchair made to order, and what customization is available?

Yes, the Gemma is produced made to order. Clients and designers can specify upholstery fabric, color, and finish from Moroso's available options, allowing the piece to be resolved within a specific interior palette without compromising the form's architectural character.

What interior settings suit the Gemma Small Armchair?

The Gemma's compact footprint and strong sculptural presence make it well suited to living spaces, private offices, galleries, and design-forward hospitality environments. Its visual weight is significant enough that a single piece can anchor a composition, while the smaller scale keeps it from overwhelming intimate settings.
