The Moragas Armchair is an intimate lounge chair with curved sides, low armrests and a high back that wraps around the sitter. Designed in 1957, it is one of the few furniture pieces by an architect who reshaped post-war Spanish building.
The Design Story
Antoni de Moragas Gallissà, one of the architects behind the renewal of Spanish architecture after the war, designed the Moragas armchair in 1957 for his own home. He took its curves from the shapes of ancient Roman baths and paired them with the discipline of Rationalism. Santa & Cole reissued the collection in 1992, and it has been in production since. The beech legs carry a cherry wood color finish, and each piece is upholstered to order in the fabric you choose. Few furniture pieces came from his hand, and this armchair became the best known of them.
About the Designer
Antoni de Moragas Gallissà (1913–1985) was a Barcelona rationalist architect and the first president of the FAD industrial design association. He designed the Moragas lamp and seating for his own use.
Why You'll Love It

- High, enveloping back for long reading sessions
- Upholstered to order in your fabric or a Santa & Cole fabric

Made for Real Life
The tall back supports the shoulders and head, and the low arms leave room to turn a page or hold a cup. It is a chair people settle into for an hour, not a perch. The fabric becomes the personality of the piece. Vacuum with a soft upholstery brush, plump the seat area by hand, and keep it out of strong direct sun to protect the fabric color.
