Ron Arad – Soft Heart Lounge / Rocking Chair Moroso, Italy, 1990s

The Soft Heart chair is far more than a seating object—it is an iconic, emotionally driven design statement. Designed by the internationally acclaimed Ron Arad for Moroso, this piece perfectly balances sculptural form, humor, and comfort. Its heart-shaped silhouette features soft, flowing curves that invite relaxation, while the chair’s gentle rocking motion transforms sitting into a sensory experience.

This is not a conventional lounge chair; it is a piece that engages the viewer, sparks conversation, and immediately becomes the focal point of any interior. Reupholstered in rich red wool, the chair has a bold yet refined presence that feels both expressive and elegant. Whether placed in a modern, postmodern, or eclectic setting, the Soft Heart stands out as a confident design statement, equally suited to private interiors, galleries, or creative spaces.

Structurally, the chair is built around a robust internal metal frame, combined with molded polyurethane foam that ensures lasting shape and comfort. The rocking function is carefully engineered to be smooth, controlled, and stable, offering a calming motion rather than a sense of instability. The new red wool upholstery follows the chair’s sculptural form closely, highlighting its flowing silhouette and distinctive heart-shaped profile.

The Soft Heart is not a conventional mass-market object. It is a piece for collectors and design enthusiasts who appreciate bold forms, historical significance, and furniture that communicates emotion as well as function.
