Dessiné par Ron Arad pour Moroso en 2008, Do-lo-rez s’inspire du concept du pixel. L’élément unique de l’unité de base d’une image est transposé en module de base d’un système de sièges. Grâce à ses parallélépipèdes souples de section carrée de différentes hauteurs, Do-lo-rez gagne une liberté forme et élève sa modularité jusqu'à ce qu'elle devienne elle-même structurelle. Les éléments individuels apparemment simples cachent une complexité structurelle remarquable. Plus rigides à la base, afin de pouvoir accueillir une broche en acier, les blocs sont plus souples au sommet pour assurer un maximum de confort. Chaque module du canapé Do-lo-rez est déhoussable. Le revêtement des modules est disponible dans les couleurs et dans les combinaisons textiles prédéfinies par le designer.

Born in 1951 in Tel Aviv, Israel, Ron Arad studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Jerusalem and then at the Architectural Association in London. In 1981, he founded his own studio "One Off Ltd." in London with Caroline Thorman, and began producing his unconventional furniture by hand, most of it in welded sheet steel, with a strong sculptural character. In 1989, together with Alison Brooks, a Canadian architect, he founded the firm Ron Arad Associates Ltd. In 1994, he founded the Ron Arad Studio in Como and was visiting professor of product design at the Technical University of Vienna until 1997. Since then, he has taught industrial design and furniture design at the Royal College of Art in London. Ron Arad's work is part of the permanent collection of many museums, from the MoMa in New York to the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. Ron Arad works with leading brands such as Vitra, Magis, Kartell and Alessi, and his best-known creations include the Victoria & Albert collection for Moroso and the DO-LO-REZ rugs for Nanimarquina, with their astonishing optical effect.
