Moragas Ottoman by Antoni de Moragas Gallissà for Santa & Cole

The Moragas Ottoman is the round companion to one of Spain's quiet mid-century classics. A soft upholstered drum on slim beech legs, it finishes the armchair and stands well on its own.

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. The ottoman was conceived as the matching footrest, repeating the armchair's softness in a compact circle.

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.

Made for Real Life

At 42 cm (16.5 in) high it sits at the same level as the armchair seat, so legs rest flat and relaxed. The fabric you choose sets the feel, from tight weaves that resist wear to softer melange textures. Vacuum the upholstery regularly with a soft brush attachment and treat spills by blotting, following the care label of your chosen fabric. Wipe the legs with a dry cloth.
