About This Piece

Vintage Design

Medea chairs by Vittorio Nobili, Tagliabue brothers of the 50s. Produced in good condition with wear caused by years and use. Please view the attached images carefully. Born in Milan in 1917, Nobili studied architecture at the Politecnico di Milano before devoting himself to furniture design in the 1940s. He began his career working for the Milanese furniture company Fratelli Tagliabue, where he designed many innovative pieces of furniture that obtained prestigious awards. In 1953, Nobili founded his furniture design company, Arredamenti Vittorio Nobili, which quickly earned a reputation for its avant-garde creations. He was known for his bold use of materials such as stainless steel, glass and plexiglas, as well as his minimalist and functional approach. Nobili has collaborated with many of the leading Italian brands, including Olivetti, Bieffeplast and Arflex, for which he has designed iconic pieces such as the Superleggera chair and the Leggera plastic chair. He also designed interiors for ships and aircraft, as well as exhibitions for events such as the Milan Triennale. Throughout his career, Nobili has won numerous awards for his contribution to design, including the Compasso d'Oro in 1955 and 1957. His projects are exhibited in museums around the world, including the MoMA in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Triennale Design Museum in Milan. Nobili died in Milan in 2000, but his legacy as an innovative and influential designer continues to inspire current generations of designers.
