A true milestone in Italian mid-century design, the Medea chair received the prestigious Compasso d'Oro award at the Milan Triennale in 1956, just a year after its introduction. The chairs feature a beautifully curved molded plywood seat with an ebonized finish on the back, elegantly paired with a minimalist black lacquered metal base. Their organic shape and innovative construction represent the perfect balance between form and function, making them a sought-after collector’s item for design enthusiasts. These chairs are in used vintage condition, consistent with age and wear. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
