This vintage “Medea” armchair was designed by Vittorio Nobili for Fratelli Tagliabue in the 1950s and stands as one of the most recognizable examples of Italian Mid-Century Modern design. The chair is defined by its sculptural silhouette, shaped through advanced bentwood techniques that create the characteristic curved form and elegant, fan-like wood grain pattern associated with the Medea series. The seat rests on its original black metal base, attached using the distinctive brass screws typical of Nobili’s production, a detail that reflects the blend of craftsmanship and industrial precision that made the design so innovative. The chair shows light signs of age consistent with its period, yet remains structurally strong with a beautifully preserved surface and authentic patina. Highly collectible and visually striking, the Medea armchair is a perfect statement piece for interiors that embrace Italian design heritage, modernist aesthetics, and the refined lines of Mid-Century Modern furniture. This piece has an attribution mark, I am sure that it is completely authentic and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
