Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the M.a.s.s.a.s. sofa and when?

The M.a.s.s.a.s. sofa was designed by Patricia Urquiola for Moroso in 2012. Urquiola is among the most influential Italian-based designers of her generation, known for work that bridges tactile sensibility with structural rigor.

What does M.a.s.s.a.s. stand for?

The name M.a.s.s.a.s. is an acronym referencing the sofa's defining qualities of mass, softness, and sculptural presence. It reflects Urquiola's interest in naming objects in ways that speak to their material and formal character.

Is the M.a.s.s.a.s. sofa suitable for contract or hospitality use?

Yes. The construction uses flame-retardant foams and reinforced upholstery, making it appropriate for refined contract environments including hospitality and corporate interiors, in addition to residential projects.

Can the M.a.s.s.a.s. sofa be customized in fabric or leather?

As a made-to-order piece, the M.a.s.s.a.s. is available in a range of Moroso upholstery options including fabric and leather. Configuration and finish choices can be coordinated to suit a specific interior concept.

How is the M.a.s.s.a.s. sofa constructed internally?

The seat uses non-deforming polyurethane foam in differentiated densities over a wood internal structure, while the back and arms employ cold-injected foam over a steel frame. This combination gives each zone of the sofa a distinct and calibrated feel.
