Tropicalia
Made by Moroso
Designed by Patricia Urquiola
La cornice geometrica in tubolare d’acciaio sfaccettato è rivestita da una sapiente composizione di intrecci, che alternano pieni e vuoti secondo un preciso disegno e denotano una meticolosa attenzione per i dettagli.
La personalità di ogni pezzo della collezione cambia a seconda del materiale impiegato. Può essere spensierata e giocosa se l’intreccio è realizzato in fili di polimero termoplastico privo di metalli pesanti, in vari colori; sofisticata e lussuosa se realizzata in pelle (versione indoor); semplice ed elegante con un doppio intreccio di corde in poliestere HT nello stesso colore o in due colori.
La struttura è in acciaio tubolare inossidabile o acciaio tubolare verniciato a polvere, adatto per uso esterno; su pattini in PVC. Cordino polimerico intrecciato sulla struttura.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Tropicalia chair suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The frame is available in tubular stainless steel or powder-coated tubular steel, both designed to withstand outdoor conditions. The thermoplastic polymer and HT polyester cord plaiting options are also rated for exterior use.
What plaiting materials are available for Tropicalia?
The collection offers three distinct material paths: heavy-metal-free thermoplastic polymer threads in a range of colors, high-tenacity polyester cords in one or two tones, and leather for the indoor version. Each produces a noticeably different aesthetic character.
Who designed the Moroso Tropicalia collection?
Tropicalia was designed by Patricia Urquiola for Moroso. Urquiola is a Barcelona-born, Milan-based designer known for weaving craft references and material sensitivity into contemporary furniture forms.
How is the plaiting on Tropicalia constructed?
The cords or threads are woven directly onto the steel frame in a precise pattern that alternates filled and open sections. The process requires skilled handwork, and the resulting texture varies depending on the material chosen.
Can Tropicalia be specified in custom colors?
Moroso typically offers Tropicalia through a catalog of available color combinations for the polymer and polyester cord options. For specific project requirements, custom specifications may be arranged through an authorized dealer or the design trade program.
