Moroso USA
Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien have a partnership that draws on their different cultures. This “unity of opposites” defines Charpoy. This first collection for Moroso was inspired by the day beds of India, and combines the handcraft traditions and simplicity of Indian culture with the efficiency and economy of European industrial production.
