Restless Jellyfish – Moroso at London Design Festival
Moroso is celebrating the role of design as a meeting point for female spirits on a constant journey, destined to wander through time and space in pursuit of the broad sweep of creativity. The conversation, which took place on the 20th of Seprember at Moroso Flagship store, on the occasion of the London Design Festival, was entitled Meduse Inquiete | Restless Jellyfish and featured Patrizia Moroso and Patricia Urquiola. The discussion moderated by Max Fraser, editorial director of Dezeen magazine, is loosely inspired by Eletta Flocchini’s 2018 book, La Medusa Inquieta (Feltrinelli). The book covers the events surrounding the mosaic sculptural masterpiece by Lucio Fontana, Testa di Medusa, and highlights among other things the collaboration between the artist and Osvaldo Borsani, who were bound together during the 1950s by a special bond that enriched and elevated the project. Drawing inspiration from this remarkable friendship, Moroso and Urquiola offer a light and ironic take on the relationship that connects them, two restless jellyfish, in their fluid journey through the seas of design and art.
For the duration of the event, Moroso’s most recent creations, all fruits of the firm’s partnership with Urquiola and introduced at the Milan Design Week 2023, will take center stage in the showroom. It will therefore be possible to find on display the collections Rows, Loveland and Loveseat, Theo and Pheaby.
