About the Item
Vittorio Nobili for Fratelli Tagliabue Medea Dining Chairs, Italy, 1955
This set of four dining chairs represents the iconic "Medea" model, masterfully designed by Vittorio Nobili and produced by the esteemed Italian manufacturer Fratelli Tagliabue in 1955. Each chair showcases a sleek and striking black lacquered tubular metal frame, which exhibits a charming patina that tells a story of its age.
The plywood seats are in excellent original condition, demonstrating the high-quality craftsmanship typical of mid-century modern design. While the lacquer finish features some craquelé—a subtle visual texture that adds character—and scratches consistent with normal wear and tear, these imperfections only enhance the chairs' vintage appeal and authenticity.
These chairs are not just functional but artistic statements that can transform any interior space. Whether placed in a stylish living room, a cozy family room, a modern screening room, or an efficient office, they serve as an eye-catching focal point.
By opting for used mid-century design, you are making a sustainable choice, reducing waste, and promoting the idea of furniture with a history. Each piece can have a second, third, or even fourth life, aligning with eco-friendly practices. Mid-century furniture is renowned for its sturdy and durable construction, allowing it to endure generations of use. The visible signs of wear provide a unique glimpse into previous owners' lives, enriching the furniture narrative and making it all the more special in your home or business.
