The Joe Chair by Midj draws from three decades of Italian seating expertise, distilled into an armchair that speaks the visual language of the 1970s while remaining entirely contemporary. Handcrafted in Italy by a studio founded in 1987 in the northeast of the country, this Italian design armchair carries the quiet authority of a house that has spent its entire existence perfecting the art of sitting.

What distinguishes the Joe is its dialogue of opposites — warm wood set against the cool precision of steel, soft upholstery meeting rigid frame. The proportions recall an era when furniture embraced sculptural generosity, yet the scale remains restrained enough to hold its own without commanding the room. Every material transition is deliberate: a conversation between texture and temperature that rewards closer attention and invites touch.

At 45 × 52 × 80 cm, the Joe occupies a compact footprint suited to reading corners, bedside placement, or as accent seating within a larger arrangement. Its single configuration is offered with multiple upholstery finishes — spanning a range of fabrics and leathers — allowing each piece to shift character depending on the interior scheme. A leather-clad Joe in a walnut-toned study reads very differently from one dressed in linen beside a window.
