Description
The Moooi Kisss Lounge Chair is Marcel Wanders’ playful take on Salvador Dalí’s famous Mae West Lips Sofa, except he made it way more practical for actual living. The lip-shaped silhouette is pretty unmistakable – curvy and bold in that way where you know it’s going to be a conversation starter the second someone walks into the room. What makes it different from just being a sculptural piece you’re scared to sit on is the connectable bracket system tucked into the back. You can link multiple chairs together in whatever configuration your space needs – straight line for a hallway, U-shape around a coffee table, even a full circle if you’re feeling ambitious. The upholstery is Kvadrat Divina 3 wool, which is that high-quality fabric that actually holds up to regular use instead of pilling or looking worn out after six months. The iconic red version ships immediately if you want that classic lip color, but there’s a whole range of other shades if red furniture feels like too much commitment for your space.
