The Blur Sofa is part of Marc Thorpe's Blurred Collection for Moroso at the Soho showroom in New York City this October. The sofa is covered in knitted material displaying a gradient pattern. The designer described the piece as, “a sofa with a deliberately indefinite, disappearing shape that casts doubt on the rational concept of scale as it cancels the relationship between space and volume. It plays on creating a feeling of uncertainty as to its size and shape“.
This interesting piece of furniture was developed on a wooden frame covered with different-density polyurethane foam. The aim of both designer and manufacturer was “to push the limits of technology, material, form and space.”
