About the Item
Getsuen “Lily” Chair by Masanori Umeda for Edra, Italy, 1990 – Reupholstered in Teddy Fabric
An extraordinary example of poetic modernism, the Getsuen ("Lily") chair was designed in 1990 by celebrated Japanese designer Masanori Umeda and produced by Edra, Italy’s avant-garde design house. A tribute to organic beauty and emotional form, this sculptural chair draws its shape from the blooming lily flower, gracefully blending whimsy with high-concept function.
Umeda’s Getsuen chair is a hallmark of radical design from the late 20th century. Its five petal-like projections mimic a flower in full bloom, giving it an irresistible biomorphic silhouette. Though dramatic in appearance, the form is ergonomically conceived—providing support while visually evoking softness and growth.
This edition has been newly reupholstered in a lush white teddy fabric, enhancing its tactile allure and visual warmth. The soft texture contrasts playfully with the chair’s firm and dramatic form, lending it a cozy, contemporary update. Mounted on discreet wheels, the chair is surprisingly mobile despite its sculptural profile.
A rare collector’s item, this chair has become an icon in contemporary design history, often found in museums, galleries, and curated interiors. It represents Umeda’s philosophy of combining surrealism with comfort—an invitation to experience design emotionally and physically.
