Balzo Forest green leather sofa by Massimo Iosa Ghini for Moroso Italia 1987, three-seat sofa, leather, chromed steel, 83" x 40" x 31"H. Iosa-Ghini's Bolidista manifesto (1982) exhorted designers to “break the reign of the angular line” and “find once more the sinuous curve.” Bolidismo is derived from bolide, the Italian word for a fast-moving object (such as a speeding bullet), or an object whose appearance implies speed.

On an architectural scale, he created Bolido, a New York nightclub and restaurant that boasts sweeping stair rails...
