About the Item
Vintage Medea N102 Chairs by Vittorio Nobili
A true icon of mid-century Italian design, the Medea N102 chairs by Vittorio Nobili are a masterpiece of form and function. First introduced in 1955 this chair exemplifies the innovative use of bentwood and metal, creating a sculptural yet practical seating solution.
Crafted from a single sheet of molded plywood with elegant walnut veneer, the Medea chair features a beautifully contoured seat that seamlessly flows into its backrest. Its refined curves, subtle cutout, and splayed black metal legs give it an effortlessly modern yet timeless aesthetic. The ergonomic design ensures comfort, while its lightweight structure makes it versatile for both home and commercial spaces.
These vintage Medea chairs are highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts, embodying the craftsmanship and innovation of 1950s Italian furniture. Perfect as dining or accent chairs, they bring a touch of sophistication and history to any interior.
About the Designer:
Vittorio Nobili was a visionary Italian designer known for his pioneering work in plywood molding techniques. Though little is documented about his career, his Medea chair remains one of the most celebrated pieces of mid-century design. His ability to merge organic shapes with industrial production techniques helped define an era of innovation in furniture design.
About the Manufacturer: Fratelli Tagliabue
The Medea chair was produced by Fratelli Tagliabue, an esteemed Italian furniture manufacturer specializing in advanced wood-bending techniques. Founded in the early 20th century, the company played a significant role in the evolution of modernist furniture, combining traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge production methods. Their work remains highly regarded among collectors and design connoisseurs.
