Sam Maloof is dead less than three weeks, and Thomas Moser knocks off his rocker ? Looks like a nice design. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery -- or rapacious capitalist pigs stamp on the grave of a master ?

Moser
Also knocked off the Barcelona chair, the shakers, and Nakashima, so Maloof finds himself in quality company.
Personally I think Moser has gone off the deep end...their latest 10k chair is a weird conglomeration of cast metal and sculpted wood and satiny upholstery. Which to me seems like lots of work just for the sake of work.

One of the sons
is the design director. They're trying anything and everything (including all the influences you named, and more) to see what will stick. It must be nice to have a handsome R&D budget. . . !
