Matrizia, designed by Ron Arad for Moroso, is instead a sofa-sculpture, an upholstered furniture item which acts as the ideal midway point between design skill and craft talent.

The idea came about by accident, after seeing mattresses dumped in the street when walking in town, a sight which captured the boundless imagination of Ron Arad and triggered an imaginary operation of salvage and decontextualisation.
Matrizia was thus born by modelling and recovering a mattress so as to create a comfortable and innovative seat, while the name is a witty combination of the word “mattress” with “Patrizia”.
