The new design for Moroso is part of Hubert's Talma collection, named after a type of sleeveless cloak, and is based around a concept that the designer calls "fashion for furniture".

A quilted fabric with leather trim is used for the cover and was created with Dutch textile brand Innofa.

The cover slips over a simple CNC-formed steel frame that dictates the shape of the seat and fastens together with zips.
