Supernatural Armchair
Made by Moroso
Designed by Ross Lovegrove
Designed by Ross Lovegrove in 2005, the Supernatural Armchair extends a celebrated collection into a more enveloping seating form. Its monocoque shell, molded from reinforced polypropylene, achieves a continuous, fluid silhouette that reads as sculpture without sacrificing structural logic.
Lovegrove's sensitivity to organic geometry is present in every curve. The shell's form follows the body with quiet precision, while thermoformed pads in foam and flame-retardant fabric add a considered layer of comfort. The chair stacks up to four units, preserving its practicality in hospitality and contract contexts without compromising its visual presence.
