Description

Architectural Elegance Inspired by the Milan Duomo

The Edra Milano Chair pays homage to the iconic architecture of the Milan Duomo, drawing direct inspiration from its façade’s slender verticality and intricate stonework. This high-backed chair features a gracefully tapered silhouette, echoing the cathedral’s spires, and introduces a fresh dimension of sculptural seating into luxury interiors. Designed for both residential and statement commercial spaces, the Milano Chair embodies a refined harmony between Italian heritage and contemporary design.

Artisan Craftsmanship in Polychrome Polycarbonate

Crafted through exceptional artisanal techniques, the chair is formed from polychrome polycarbonate— a material chosen for its ability to merge durability with elegance. The chair’s defining "reed" structure showcases delicate ribbing, creating a tactile surface that exudes visual rhythm and flow. Subtle tone variations—achieved through fluid pigment transitions—highlight the artisanal mastery behind each piece, making every chair not only functional but uniquely collectible.

A Palette that Reflects Light and Luxury

The Milano Chair's chromatic spectrum transitions beautifully from pristine white to warm greys, celebrating the reflective and refractive properties of polycarbonate. These hues not only complement minimalist and modern décors but also enhance the ambient light in a room, adding depth and softness to the surroundings. Its tonal fluidity and luminous finish ensure the Milano Chair stands out as both a design object and a sophisticated seating solution.

About The Artist

EDRA

Founded in 1987 by Valerio and Monica Mazzei, Edra Italy has redefined the boundaries of contemporary luxury furniture. Emerging from the cultural richness of Tuscany, the brand quickly distinguished itself through its daring fusion of artistic expression and engineering ingenuity. With Massimo Morozzi as its first art director, Edra evolved from a traditional family business into an internationally acclaimed design house known for crafting “superlative furniture.” At its core, Edra is a celebration of creativity without compromise—where the artisan's hand, the designer's eye, and the innovator’s spirit converge.

Among the many collaborators who embody Edra’s ethos, Jacopo Foggini stands out as a true material poet. Born in Turin, Foggini’s artistic journey began in the industrial world of thermoplastics, a foundation that would later fuel his radical experiments in design. He pioneered the use of methacrylate and polycarbonate—not as mere structural components, but as luminous, expressive mediums. His work exists in a space where sculpture meets design, where light is not only captured but orchestrated. With an innate ability to draw emotion from synthetic material, Foggini’s creative language is unmistakably his own: bold, fluid, and always light-infused.

The Milano Chair, a result of Foggini’s collaboration with Edra, is a masterclass in design storytelling. Drawing inspiration from the vertical majesty of the Milan Duomo, the chair translates gothic architecture into a sculptural silhouette. Its slender, high-backed profile evokes the cathedral’s soaring spires, while its “reed” texture mirrors the rhythm of gothic columns and tracery. Crafted from polychrome polycarbonate, the chair shimmers between shades of white and warm grey, reflecting ambient light in fluid gradients. Each piece is a unique expression of craftsmanship, its tonal richness shaped by the artisanal layering of color and form. The Milano Chair doesn’t just occupy a room—it defines it, transforming light, space, and perspective.

With this piece, Edra once again reaffirms its commitment to design that transcends function and enters the realm of collectible art. The Milano Chair is not only a tribute to one of Italy’s greatest architectural wonders but also a testament to the brand’s philosophy—where heritage meets experimentation, and every object tells a story worth living with.

Style Guide

The Edra Milano Chair is a high-end designer seating piece that masterfully bridges the gap between sculpture and function. Inspired by the soaring façade of the Milan Duomo, its ribbed, high-backed silhouette and tonal gradient from white to warm grey create a poetic interplay of light and architecture. Crafted from polychrome polycarbonate, its artisanal construction and reed-like texture make it not only a statement of Italian design but also an evocative addition to refined interiors. Here’s how to thoughtfully integrate this exceptional piece into your home with elegance and intention.

Ideal Placement

  • Architectural Living Rooms or Formal Lounges: Showcase the chair in a clean, gallery-like setting where its sculptural form and light-catching surface can be appreciated. Place it as a statement piece beside a low-profile sofa or angular chaise.
  • Grand Entryways and Foyers: Position the chair in a spacious entryway with soaring ceilings to echo the verticality of the Milan Duomo it draws inspiration from. Pair with a minimalist pedestal or architectural console to elevate the effect.
  • Modern Reading Corners or Quiet Niches: Add the Milano Chair to a softly lit reading alcove, paired with a sleek floor lamp and a stacked set of neutral-toned books. The gentle color transition from white to grey brings serenity to contemplative spaces.
  • Boutique Dressing Areas or Walk-In Closets: Introduce elegance into private spaces by placing the chair near a large mirror or vanity. Its reflective polycarbonate surface adds luminosity and a couture-like flair to intimate interiors.
  • Art-Centric Hallways or Transitional Zones: Use the chair as a sculptural punctuation mark in art-lined corridors or between open-plan rooms. It creates rhythm and balance without overwhelming the visual narrative.

Styling Tips

  • Play with Transparency and Light: Place near a window or architectural lighting feature to allow the polycarbonate to catch natural or ambient light. Its tonal gradients glow softly, creating a sense of quiet drama.
  • Minimalist Accessories Only: Complement with slim-legged side tables in brushed metal or glass. Avoid visual clutter—let the chair's form and finish speak without interruption.
  • Use Texture as Counterpoint: Surround the chair with organic textures such as handwoven rugs, boucle ottomans, or matte ceramics to soften the modern edge and create an inviting environment.
  • Layer in Tones of Grey and White: Mirror the chair’s color range through upholstery, drapery, or wall paint. Tonal continuity enhances the architectural feel while creating a harmonious palette.
  • Avoid Overdecoration: Treat the Milano Chair as a functional art piece. Keep nearby décor understated—a soft throw in mohair or cashmere draped lightly can be both cozy and refined.

From Our Designers

A Curated Styling Tip for Special Effect

Create a luxurious and layered conversation area by pairing the Milano Chair with the faceted brilliance of the Tavolo Diamante. The interplay between the chair’s vertical light play and the table’s sculptural, diamond-cut geometry brings a contemporary architectural dialogue to life. Together, they form a striking ensemble that commands attention while remaining elegantly understated.

FAQ

The Edra Milano Chair is more than just a seat—it’s a sculptural tribute to the architectural splendor of the Milan Duomo. Its high back, reed-like structure, and delicate ribbing elevate it from furniture to functional art. Crafted from polychrome polycarbonate with fluid tonal transitions, each piece is uniquely artisanal, making it a sophisticated collector’s item for refined spaces.

To emphasize its cathedral-inspired silhouette and play of light, position the Milano Chair where natural or directional lighting can highlight its ribbed structure. It pairs beautifully as a standalone accent in grand foyers, gallery-style spaces, or flanking a console in refined lounges—especially against neutral or textured backdrops that allow its translucent tones to shine.

While designed with sculptural elegance, the Milano Chair is also highly functional. Its durable polychrome polycarbonate material ensures longevity even with regular use in curated living rooms or boutique hospitality settings. However, due to its artisanal nature, it is often favored as a statement piece in spaces that celebrate design and craftsmanship.

To maintain its luminous surface, gently dust the chair with a soft microfiber cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap diluted in water and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads. As with any high-end translucent material, keeping the chair away from direct heat sources and prolonged sunlight helps preserve its color integrity.

The chair’s tonal palette—from white to warm greys—makes it ideal for minimalist, contemporary, and even classical-modern hybrid interiors. It brings visual serenity to monochromatic spaces and enhances the ambient feel of rooms with architectural detailing, metal accents, or polished stone surfaces.
