Brazilian designers Marcelo Damm, Rafael Roldão, Renato Mosci of deQuinta Design, with the help of Giuliano Mello, have created the Morro Sofa.Morro is a slang for favela in Rio, something like a hill covered with houses built with whatever means they have. And this had to be translated to the project.Built out of foam waste from other traditional sofas, using cloth shreds as lining (with the help of a favela seamstress and craftwork co-operative) different colored and sized cubes are attached to a recycled wood structure with the use of velcro.
