Tender sofa vis à vis is designed by Patricia Urquiola for Moroso with powder‑coated cast aluminum legs, with an optional ash wood finish; steel frame and padding in differentiated‑density polyurethane foam and fiber, with a removable fabric cover. Available in three sizes, in right‑ or left versions. The seating can be complemented with a small table with ash‑wood top.
The Tender vis‑à‑vis sofa is an iconic piece that transforms the living area into a space for dialogue, connection, and style. This two‑seat version reinterprets the classic tête‑à‑tête concept in a contemporary key, offering a particularly original and intimate furnishing solution designed to encourage face‑to‑face conversation and direct interaction between users, without compromising comfort or aesthetic refinement. Sitting on one side allows a natural view of the other person, delivering a social experience that goes beyond mere seating. Historically associated with Victorian social seating, vis‑à‑vis models are now rediscovered as design elements that bring character and personality to interiors.
This variant completes the Tender series, a modular system embodying Urquiola’s vision of sophisticated, elegant comfort. The lightweight, technically engineered aluminum frame pairs with rounded wooden or metal legs, evoking the suspended lightness of imaginary stilt houses, giving the sofa an almost ethereal appearance as if floating above the floor. Generously proportioned cushions and meticulous fabric craftsmanship envelop the forms in softness, while pleating echoes the design exploration initiated with the M.a.s.s.a.s. system in 2012, highlighting the connection between design, textile technology, and artisanal expertise.
