Item description

Gorgeous set of 4 Medea chairs by Vittorio Nobili, an icon of Italian design from the 1950s. Designed in 1955 and produced by the historic Tagliabue company, these chairs embody the elegance and innovation that characterized the post -war design. Their peculiarity lies in the refined processing of curved wood, a technique that allows to obtain harmonious and light shapes, while enhancing the resistance of the material. Made of beech plywood with a precious packed in mahogany, the Medea have a monocoque session with sinuous and welcoming lines. A distinctive detail is central drilling, not only an aesthetic, but also functional element, since it contributes to the flexibility of the structure and the comfort of the user. The base consists of thin legs in black lacquered metal, which give a light and elegant appearance while guaranteeing stability and robustness. The style of the Medea chair fits perfectly into the context of modern mid-century, a movement that has revolutionized the furniture of the time with its essential and innovative approach. The combination of the heat of the wood and the lightness of the metal structure creates a perfect aesthetic balance, making these chairs ideal for sophisticated and timeless environments. This attention to detail and functionality was recognized in 1956 with the assignment of the prestigious Compasso d'Oro Prize, one of the most important awards in the world of design. Even today, the Medea are highly sought after by collectors and vintage furnishings enthusiasts and recently returned to production re -reiterated by the home studio.

Their timeless charm makes them perfect for different contexts, from the residential interiors to the most exclusive environments, confirming their role as a masterpiece of Italian design. The chairs are presented in excellent general condition with some small sign of the time as per photographs given their more than 70 years.
