The thought process behind my design is rooted in functionality and the relationship between the user and the object. This first collection of seating that I have presented is called “The Spring Collection” and is founded on the idea of dynamism. Every piece in the collection has some element of “spring” to it; moving with and adapting to the user rather than the other way around. I tried in my design process to strip down the chair to only its most essential elements. What makes a chair comfortable? In the end I hope people find the result to be playful, geometric and sculptural but moreover functional and ergonomic. This idea of balance is also reflected in the chosen materials: the rawness and coolness of the hand-welded iron is combined with the refined elegance and warmth of the Italian leather.
The artisans of Italy are a big source of inspiration in my designs. All of the chairs are handmade in and just outside of Milan, my hometown, and I have a great respect for the work of these craftsmen. The iron is hand-welded and I have purposely left the weld marks to tell the story of the production behind the object. The highest quality Italian leather is all hand stitched and upholstered by a small family owned operation in Seregno that has been in business for generations. I truly believe that you can create innovative designs using traditional production technologies and that we must support and uphold these artisans and their know-how Mario Milana
