Mogu Chair

We collaborated with Sawaya & Moroni during Milan Design Week to unveil “Mogu,” a chair inspired by the rounded, organic contours of fungi. Conceived as a single unit within a larger family, “Mogu” allows multiple pieces to be clustered in flexible arrangements, transforming both indoor and outdoor spaces into inviting social settings.

Originally designed for a public art installation, “Mogu” occupies the space between furniture and sculpture. By grouping multiple units, the chairs resemble mushroom caps scattered across an urban landscape, challenging conventional seating arrangements and blending seamlessly with surrounding environments. Soft, undulating surfaces encourage a relaxed posture, while the form’s overall ambiguity invites users to interpret it freely whether as a playful seat, a shared bench, or a casual resting spot.

For Milan Design Week, we re-examined materials and production methods to enhance “Mogu’s” adaptability to diverse contexts.
