About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
This Medea armchair, designed by Vittorio Nobili for Fratelli Tagliabue in the 1950s, is a true icon of Midcentury Modern Italian design. Crafted with a distinctive shell shaped using sophisticated bentwood techniques, it features the typical enveloping shape and fan-shaped grain pattern, a distinctive feature of the Medea model and a symbol of postwar Italian craftsmanship excellence. The seat is mounted on a black-painted metal base, secured to the shell with original brass screws, a detail that reflects the combination of technical research and modernist aesthetics. The armchair retains an authentic patina and shows slight signs of aging consistent with its age, while maintaining excellent structural solidity and a highly elegant aesthetic. A refined and timeless piece, ideal for completing contemporary spaces, modern antique collections, or spaces dedicated to 20th-century Italian design.
