By combining a hyper-comfortable high-quality leather seat with a highly flexible Netweave backrest, Meda has created a chair that meets squarely at the crossroads of minimalist cool and responsible design. The perfect seat for a long-day at the office, the complex but not complicated adjustment mechanism built into the base ensures that complete comfort is constantly at the fore. This functionality is beautifully presented too, with the exposed spring truly celebrating the deep tradition of industrial design that has informed much of the famed Italian designer's work, recalling his roots in mechanical engineering. Also available in a fully leather upholstered version.
Alberto Meda represents the fusion of art and science, reason and imagination, technical innovation and formal virtuosity that characterizes the best of Italian design. Meda first studied mechanical engineering at the Politecnio di Milano, graduating in 1969.
Meda is acknowledged for his ability to use state-of-the-art materials in ways that are visually arresting as well as structurally sound, for example his Upper Folding Ladder. He has won a number of design awards for his creations, including a Compasso d'Oro and Design Plus award.
