Taba, the new collection by Alfredo Häberli for Moroso designed for existential multifunctionality

The TABA collection designed by Alfredo Häberli for Moroso carries forward the successful collaboration between the Swiss/Argentinian designer and the Italian company, renowned all over the world for its passionate eclecticism.

Häberli has created a family of products designed for existential multifunctionality: live, sit, talk, work. The overlapping of different organic lines,together with a softness characterized by symmetric forms, forges the TABA philosophy. The designer affirms that “when you design sofas and seats, interaction with people must take pride of place. This is why I play with the precision of lines and the poetics of the organic language.“

Häberli goes on to specify: “The game I was interested in developing with TABA is the entwinement of form and poetry. Of the linear with the elusive“. He continues: “I evoke the irrational, giving the collection the chance to experience a number of opportunities linked to everyday living. With a company like Moroso, cultivating inspiration from an idea which eschews general rules is something that comes easily to me.“

TABA is the name of an old Argentinian rural game,played with a cow's bone. The game of old time campesinos is one of skill, which must be played on soft and humid ground. Taba is a cattle bone onto which two metal plates are applied and which must be thrown with extreme dexterity, so that the winning side remains with the right side up.

The TABA collection consists of eight pieces: a sofa, two armchairs, a bench and four ottomans. They all provide a vast range of possible uses both in public and private spaces.
