Designed by Ron Arad for Moroso in 2008, Do-lo-rez is inspired by the concept of the pixel. The single element of the basic unit of an image is transposed into the basic module of a seating system. Thanks to its flexible square-section parallelepipeds of varying heights, Do-lo-rez gains freedom of form and elevates its modularity until it becomes structural itself. The seemingly simple individual elements conceal a remarkable structural complexity. More rigid at the base, to accommodate a steel spindle, the blocks are softer at the top to ensure maximum comfort. Each module of the Do-lo-rez sofa is removable. The modules are available in the colours and textile combinations predefined by the 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.
