SUZIE LOVES…..the Redono

The Redono sofa in Moroso's own home

I have a life long love of Patricia Urquiola’s style and her Redono is illustrative of why I love her designs. Whenever I research furniture for a project, I spot the Redono (it comes as a sofa, armchair & ottoman) and the love brims and I have to pop it in. Damn google analytics for controlling my feeds like a drug lord and pushing these beautiful pieces on me.

The Redono armchair is essentially a quilt-upholstered shell. Its rounded edges and padded cushioning give it a cocooning appeal, whilst because it’s proportionally large, it has an open and welcoming quality too. The design was inspired by the interiors of 50’s American cars, which makes me recall their deep, quilt-stitched leather seats and Cadallacs driving through Palm Springs in this era.

I love old school, West-coast glamour and this piece just oozes that beautiful, luxe and sensual period. The colour ways are inspired by Hollywood in the 50's and 60's, which incidentally are in vogue now including coral, teal and navy; and if you don’t have small kids, it looks deadly in off white.

If you’re someone who shies away from a minimalist design and likes tactile materials and old school luxe, curl up on a Redono and you’ll be one of the happiest people alive.
