A refined pair of “Ming” lounge chairs designed by Paola Navone for Casamilano, produced in Italy in 2022. Executed in solid beech wood with a deep dark finish, the chairs combine architectural clarity with a restrained sculptural presence.
The design is defined by its strong geometric composition and balanced proportions. Thick horizontal and vertical elements create a structured silhouette, while the open armrests and gently angled backrests introduce a sense of lightness within the solid construction. The subtle curvature of the arm supports softens the otherwise rigorous form.
Crafted entirely from solid wood, the chairs emphasize material honesty and precision in construction. The dark stained surface enhances the natural grain of the beech, adding warmth and depth to the minimal composition.
Drawing inspiration from traditional Chinese furniture while remaining distinctly contemporary, the “Ming” model reflects Paola Navone’s ability to merge cultural references with modern architectural restraint.
