Ron Arad ‘The Big Easy’ armchair for Moroso – red sculpture for home and garden

A remarkable sculptural armchair by Ron Arad for the Italian company Moroso, in red plastic with a matt, lightly textured finish. The Big Easy has large rounded armrests, an undulating back and a narrow base. The flowing lines continue all the way round, making the chair a pleasure to see from every angle.

The design goes back to the steel Big Easy that Ron Arad made in 1988. For Moroso the form was translated into other materials and production techniques; this plastic version dates from 1991 as a design. The full, almost inflated forms were retained but executed in through-coloured polyethylene. This unlacquered version is suitable for outdoor use and stood outside with us for years.

Why we chose this piece

A chair to sit in, but also a sculpture: on the borderline between furniture and art.

Style and interior

Lovely as a free-standing object on a lawn, among greenery or on a terrace; the red contrasts beautifully with a green hedge, ornamental grasses and an old brick wall. Indoors, a striking eye-catcher in a postmodern or eclectic interior.
