: Ron Arad has added a sofa carved from a single volume and another design based on a discarded mattress to his range for Italian furniture company Moroso.
The two sofas are on show as part of Moroso's latest collection, which also includes seating by architect David Adjaye, at the Salone del Mobile in Milan this week.
The Glider sofa was designed from a single block of foam, cut to form a curving back and bulbous arms that cover a supporting metal frame.
"The challenge was not to build a traditional sofa with back, seat and armrests, but to start from a single volume, a single piece, and model it to make it as a comfortable as a classic sofa," said a statement from Moroso.
