The Joe Chair by Midj draws from three decades of Italian seating expertise, distilling a seventies-era silhouette into a refined Italian design armchair built for contemporary interiors. Since 1987, Midj has collaborated with independent designers to craft pieces that move fluidly between residential and contract settings — and the Joe Chair is among the most articulate expressions of that ethos, handcrafted in Italy with an unwavering attention to material composition.

What distinguishes the Joe is its dialogue between materials. Warm wood meets the cool precision of steel within a single frame, creating a tension that feels resolved rather than restless. The upholstered seat and back soften the conversation — available in fabric or leather — lending each version a distinct temperament. It is a chair that refuses to be defined by one material alone, and that layered construction gives it a visual depth rare at this scale.

At 45 × 52 × 80 cm, the Joe occupies space with quiet efficiency. Its narrow profile allows multiple chairs to gather around a standard dining table without crowding, while the 80 cm height supports extended seated hours — whether at a writing desk, a breakfast nook, or a hospitality setting where guests linger. Upholstery can be specified across a range of fabric and leather finishes, allowing the chair to shift character from a warm wool tone to a polished hide depending on the interior it inhabits.
