Designed by Vittorio Nobili in 1955 for Tagliabue, the “Medea” chair is a masterpiece of Italian mid-century design. Its organic, sculptural form is achieved through a single bentwood shell, elegantly perched on a slender tubular steel frame.

Celebrated for its balance of engineering and aesthetics, the Medea chair earned international acclaim — including the Compasso d’Oro award. It remains one of the most iconic examples of postwar Italian furniture, equally suited to dining rooms, desks, or refined display.

This vintage example features a warm wood tone with beautiful grain, highlighting the natural elegance of the form.

Condition Report

Very good vintage condition with minor signs of age. The wood shell shows subtle patina, and the frame is clean and stable. No structural issues.
