Husk is inspired by the outer shell of corn. The fields of corn punctuate the landscape of northern Italy, in particular around the city of Udine. Corn is used as a resource globally across all boarders and takes many forms. For Thorpe, this was an opportunity to translate the architecture of the husk from an ear of corn to produce a globally recognizable and accepted object for daily use. The design of Husk for the home collection of Moroso lent itself to the international sensibility of the outdoor collection M'Afrique, manufactured in Dakar Senegal.
Marc Thorpe also designed the fabric Mini Husk in collaboration with Febrik specifically for this collection. Husk is available in two sizes of armchair and an outdoor series from hand-woven polyethylene cord.
