Gogan Sofa
Made by Moroso
Designed by Patricia Urquiola
Patricia Urquiola conceived the Gogan Sofa after the smooth, water-worn stones found in Japanese riverbeds, forms shaped over centuries into something both inevitable and serene. That source material is visible in every contour: softly swelling volumes, rounded silhouettes, and a quiet sense of weight that feels settled rather than imposed.
The sofa's defining counterforts, the structural fins that divide and organize its generous seating surface, give Gogan an architectural identity without rigidity. Proportion is everything here. The piece reads as sculpture from across a room and as comfort the moment you sit.

Patricia Urquiola drew inspiration from Japanese river stones, whose forms are gradually shaped by water and time into rounded, organic volumes. That sensibility informed Gogan's softly swelling silhouette and its sense of quiet, settled weight.
What are the counterforts on the Gogan Sofa?
The counterforts are the structural fins or ridges that divide the sofa's seating surface, giving Gogan its signature architectural character. They organize the form visually while preserving the overall softness of the design.
Is the Gogan Sofa available in custom upholstery?
Yes. Gogan is produced made to order, which means upholstery material, color, and configuration can be specified to suit a particular interior. Moroso offers an extensive range of fabrics and leathers for this purpose.
