First released in 2000, Lowland has been upcycled into Mr Loveland, and Mr Loveseat, an upholstered seating system and a contemporary armchair. Mr Loveland harmonizes with Urquiola’s original concept, while bringing new compositional possibilities into the picture. Softer and more comfortably manufactured, the original tubular steel has been replaced with solid wood bases that are offered in Honey, Tropical Wood, or Coffee colors.
