The design world is in mourning following the loss of Diana Mansutti, co-founder of Moroso, a prominent furniture company based in Friuli, Italy. Moroso was estabished in 1952 by Diana and her husband Agostino.
Moroso was envisioned by the Mansutti couple as a platform to produce high-quality furniture and accessories, with a focus on craftsmanship and innovation. Their dedication to excellence propelled Moroso to become a leading name in the market, renowned for its distinctive products that blend creativity with functionality.
The announcement of Mansutti's passing was made by her family through an official press release, accompanied by a poignant photograph capturing her youthful spirit on a Lambretta—a symbol of freedom and adventure. Since the company's inception, Diana has been a driving force behind Moroso's success, serving as a beacon of inspiration and guidance for all those associated with the brand.
Under her stewardship, Moroso has collaborated with some of the most esteemed designers, including Ron Arad, Patricia Urquiola, and Ross Lovegrove, producing iconic pieces that have redefined contemporary design aesthetics.
The funeral service for Diana Mansutti will be held today, March 28, in the cathedral of Tricesimo. On this day, Moroso will be closed, honouring the life and contributions of their visionary leader.
