SQUARE design Jonathan Olivares, 2022


Square, small, upholstered armchairs and settees designed by Jonathan Olivares, will be presented at Moroso’s showroom during the Milan #design Week. Inspired by Olivares’ collaboration with the Danish textile manufacturer Kvadrat, Square was created for the firm’s New York flagship showroom.

“Square derives its formal language from the basic square unit that makes up the warp and weft of a woven textile. Enlarged and abstracted, the armchair's shape represents the textile used to make it: it is square on a micro and macro level. As textiles are some of the most flexible products, the seat is also conceived as an adaptable object”, says Olivares

Conceived as small seat for public areas, Square is notable for its essential geometric forms and precise lines, combining comfort with flexibility of use. Designed for collaborative and agile workspaces, Square is light and can be easily repositioned as spaces are reorganized. Its shape allows for a free and informal use of the different surfaces; the backrest, for example, can be used as resting surfaces or a small table for a laptop. It can be interpreted by the user, sitting forwards, sideways, backwards or perching. 

Square is available with one or two seats. In public and work settings the combination of the two versions can create dynamic spatial arrangements, that bring groups of people together. Removable covers, make it easy to change colours or textile types to adapt to new settings and occasions, and offer dynamic possibilities for spatial displays.
