Midcentury Italian Medea Chair by Vittorio Nobili, Set of 3

About the Item

Medea chairs are a classic design created by Italian architect and designer Vittorio Nobili in 1955. The chairs are named after the mythical Greek sorceress Medea, known for her intelligence and cunning. The Medea chairs are made from bent metal and feature a delicate, lattice-like design with a curved backrest and tapered legs. They are light and airy in appearance, yet sturdy and comfortable to sit on. The chairs were designed to be functional and versatile, suitable for use in a variety of settings, from homes to offices to public spaces. They are often used as dining chairs or occasional chairs in living rooms or bedrooms. The Medea chairs have become a classic of mid-century modern design and are highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts. They have been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world and are still in production today.
