Description

Amber Elegance Encased in Transparency

A captivating tribute to design and individuality, Edra's Gilda B. chair is a statement of refined sophistication. Cloaked in warm amber tones reminiscent of aged whiskey and autumnal tobacco leaves, this chair is sculpted from transparent extruded polycarbonate, giving it a jewel-like presence. The interplay of light within its lustrous shell creates ever-shifting reflections, ensuring that Gilda B. doesn’t just occupy a space—it transforms it. Its monolithic seat and backrest, fused into a seamless single form, elevate its presence from furniture to collectible sculpture.

Uniquely Yours: Hand-Shaped and Irreplicable

No two Gilda B. chairs are ever alike. Shaped meticulously by hand, each piece in the Jacopo Foggini collection is a sculptural one-off, with natural variations in back height, curvature, color dispersion, and material texture. These “dust and imperfections” are not flaws but signatures—each a testament to the artisanal process and individuality of the chair. Mounted on semi-glossy black legs, the contrast between the luminous seat and the grounded base gives the chair both visual lightness and structural balance.

Timeless Tribute with Contemporary Versatility

Dedicated to the esteemed Gilda Bojardi, editor-in-chief of Interni, the chair embodies timeless elegance that transcends trend. Whether placed in a minimalist loft, an art collector’s salon, or an editorial office, Gilda B. adapts effortlessly, bringing a poetic sensibility to its surroundings. Its sculptural form and evocative hue make it more than seating—it is a conversation piece, a homage to creative minds, and a luxurious celebration of modern Italian craftsmanship.

About The Artist

EDRA

Step into the world of Edra—an Italian design house where furniture is never just functional, but always emotional. Founded in 1987 by Valerio and Monica Mazzei in the heart of Tuscany, Edra was envisioned as a bridge between heritage and avant-garde. With the early artistic direction of the late Massimo Morozzi, Edra quickly carved its identity by pushing boundaries—combining innovative materials with an unmistakably Italian design sensibility. Edra is not simply a brand; it is a creative laboratory where form, texture, and feeling coexist to create design experiences that linger in the mind.

It is within this deeply expressive ethos that Jacopo Foggini found his creative home. Known for his experimental manipulation of polycarbonate and methacrylate, Foggini approaches furniture as a sculptor approaches marble—shaping, layering, and refining until each piece reveals its own emotional truth. His hands-on technique transforms industrial materials into luminous works of art, embracing organic irregularities and celebrating the beauty of uniqueness. With a background that straddles art, architecture, and engineering, Foggini is less concerned with symmetry and more fascinated by flow—of color, of movement, of meaning.

The Gilda B. chair is a result of this philosophy made tangible. Dedicated to the inimitable Gilda Bojardi—editor-in-chief of Interni and a luminary in the design world—this chair is a tribute to elegance and individuality. Cast in warm amber tones, evocative of aged whiskey and dried tobacco leaves, the seat and back form a single, seamless body of hand-shaped polycarbonate. Transparent yet tactile, fluid yet strong, no two chairs are identical. Variations in color, curvature, and “imperfections” are not only accepted—they are celebrated. Resting on semi-glossy black legs, Gilda B. brings sculptural serenity into any space, whether it's a collector’s apartment, a curated gallery, or a statement dining room.

This chair, like much of Edra’s work, refuses to be confined by convention. It stands as a symbol of the brand’s enduring commitment to innovation, craftsmanship, and storytelling. In Edra’s world, furniture isn’t just designed—it’s felt. With creations like the Gilda B. by Jacopo Foggini, Edra continues to affirm its place at the crossroads of art and design, where every piece holds a soul, and every silhouette tells a story.

Style Guide

The Edra Gilda B. Chair is a sculptural seating piece that seamlessly blends avant-garde artistry with practical elegance. Designed by Jacopo Foggini, this high-end chair features a seamless, hand-shaped body of extruded polycarbonate in a rich amber hue, recalling the warmth of aged whiskey and tobacco leaves. Mounted on semi-glossy black legs and dedicated to the iconic Gilda Bojardi of Interni, it is a statement of refined individuality. Each chair is one of a kind, boasting unique color gradients, curves, and artisanal “imperfections” that elevate it from seating to collectible design. Here are expert placement and styling tips to showcase this singular piece in your interior.

Ideal Placement

  • Artful Entryways & Transitional Spaces: Position the Gilda B. chair in a refined entry foyer or hallway niche to set a tone of sophisticated design. It creates a bold first impression while remaining functional as an elegant perch.
  • Reading Corners in Primary Suites: Place it beside a sculptural floor lamp and a side table in a master bedroom corner. The chair’s gentle transparency and amber warmth create a serene yet styled reading spot.
  • Curated Corners in Open-Plan Living Rooms: In wide, contemporary layouts, use Gilda B. as a punctuation mark—placed slightly apart from grouped furniture to draw focus like a standalone art piece.
  • Gallery-Like Dining Spaces: Surround a sleek black or smoked-glass dining table with Gilda B. chairs to create a dramatic, curated atmosphere. Their variation in backrest and translucency enhances the layered, visual impact.
  • Luxury Dressing Rooms or Boudoirs: Position it next to a minimalist vanity or floating shelf in a dressing area. Its elegance, translucence, and one-of-a-kind quality enhance the intimacy of personal spaces.

Styling Tips

  • Let It Breathe: Avoid crowding the chair with excessive furniture. Its sculptural transparency demands open space to let light and shadows accentuate its amber-toned depth.
  • Contrast with Natural Textures: Pair with tactile elements like raw linen drapes, a silk rug, or matte ceramic accessories to juxtapose the chair’s glossy finish with organic softness.
  • Illuminate Thoughtfully: Place near natural light or under a directional spotlight to highlight the polycarbonate’s inner glow and hand-shaped contours, especially during evening hours.
  • Minimal Accents Nearby: Use subtle elements like a low marble side table or a smoked-glass vase nearby. These enhance the ambiance without stealing focus from the chair’s visual impact.
  • Layered Neutrals as Backdrop: Position against walls in ivory, mocha, or charcoal for a modern palette that lets the amber hue subtly shine while maintaining a sophisticated tone.

A Curated Styling Tip for Special Effect

Pair the Gilda B. chair with the Blur Coffee Table by Nature Design to create a fluid design narrative. The soft, curved edges and semi-transparent forms of the Blur Table echo the chair’s material fluidity while offering a tactile contrast in surface. Together, they form a balanced composition—inviting and visually compelling—perfect for contemporary salons or artistic lounges that celebrate individuality and form.

FAQ

The Gilda B. chair is not simply a chair—it’s a hand-shaped sculpture by Jacopo Foggini, one of Italy’s most celebrated material artists. Each piece is unique, crafted from extruded polycarbonate in warm amber tones that mimic the fluidity of aged whiskey. Dedicated to Gilda Bojardi, the iconic editor of Interni, this chair blends sculptural elegance with artistic homage, making it a true example of functional artwork for design connoisseurs.

Absolutely. The chair’s timeless aesthetic, marked by its translucent amber body and semi-glossy black legs, allows it to complement a range of settings—from minimalist lofts to richly layered, traditional salons. Its warm tones and crystalline transparency make it a versatile statement piece that adapts while elevating its surroundings.

To maintain the clarity and integrity of the hand-shaped polycarbonate, gently clean the surface with a soft, non-abrasive cloth dampened with water. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol-based cleaners, or scrubbing pads, as these can dull the surface or scratch the material. Dust regularly and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to retain the richness of the amber hue.

While structurally sound for occasional use, the Gilda B. chair is best suited for curated spaces such as formal lounges, entryways, or galleries where its aesthetic value is appreciated. Each chair is individually hand-shaped and not mass-produced, so it is recommended to treat it as a functional art piece rather than everyday seating.

Each Gilda B. chair is one-of-a-kind—variations in height, curvature, backrest shape, and amber distribution are inherent to its handmade process. While chairs can be grouped beautifully, their uniqueness is a celebrated feature, not a flaw. If you're seeking a matched set, we recommend embracing the subtle differences as part of the collection’s artistic charm.

Not at all. We offer complimentary white-glove delivery and assembly for all our furniture pieces. Our team will carefully assemble the product in your space, ensuring everything is perfectly set up before they leave. All you need to do is sit back and enjoy your new piece.
