Klara is a wooden armchair designed by Patricia Urquiola for Moroso. The design works on a simple, linear aesthetic that is harmonious in its curved yet essential shape. The use of wood emphasises its lightness and elegance. The structure calls to mind the first serial productions of the early 20th century, partly due to the use of woven cane, a hand-crafted technique in practice a century ago. The name Klara is meant to evoke a sense of tranquillity, and the project looks to emphasis the importance of blending decorative art, craftsmanship and industrial design.
