Designed by the internationally acclaimed Ron Arad for Moroso, this piece perfectly balances sculptural form, humor, and comfort. Its heart-shaped silhouette features soft, flowing curves that invite relaxation, while the chair’s gentle rocking motion transforms sitting into a sensory experience.

This is not a conventional lounge chair; it is a piece that engages the viewer, sparks conversation, and immediately becomes the focal point of any interior. The deep red textile upholstery adds a bold yet refined presence—both expressive and elegant. Whether placed in a modern, postmodern, or eclectic setting, the Soft Heart stands out as a confident design statement, equally suited for private interiors, galleries, or creative spaces.

Structurally, the chair is built around a robust internal metal frame, combined with high-density molded polyurethane foam that ensures long-lasting shape retention and comfort. The rocking function is carefully engineered to be smooth, controlled, and stable—offering a calming motion rather than instability. The chair retains its original Moroso upholstery, notable for its rich color, tactile quality, and precise tailoring. The upholstery follows the sculptural form flawlessly, reflecting Moroso’s renowned Italian craftsmanship and high production standards.

The Soft Heart is not a mass-produced object. It is a piece chosen by collectors and design enthusiasts who appreciate bold forms, historical significance, and furniture that communicates emotion as well as function. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
