Midj has shaped the art of seating from northeastern Italy since 1987, collaborating with designers who understand the discipline of a single, resolved gesture. The Pippi Chair, designed by Roberto Paoli, is an Italian design armchair that distills structure, comfort, and material intelligence into one continuous curve — handcrafted in Italy with the rigor that three decades of specialization demand.

Two curved metal tubes trace an unbroken line from feet to armrests, forming both skeleton and silhouette in a single motion. The entire frame is then sheathed in slightly padded bielastic fabric — not draped over it, but bonded to it — erasing seams, joints, and the usual boundaries between structure and surface. What remains is a form that feels sculpted rather than assembled, where every point of contact carries the same quiet give.

At 47 × 55 × 77 cm, the Pippi is deliberately compact — proportioned for apartment living rooms, boutique hotel lobbies, executive offices, or as accent seating where space is considered, not merely filled. The 77 cm height offers proper back support for extended sitting without visual weight. Both the bielastic fabric and steel feet are available in a wide palette of colours and finishes, allowing precise coordination with existing interiors — a detail that makes this chair as useful to specifiers as it is to homeowners.

Frequently asked questions

Can the fabric and foot finish be specified independently?
Yes. The bielastic upholstery and steel feet each offer their own range of colour options, so the two can be matched or deliberately contrasted. Contact us for the full selection and lead times.

Is the bielastic fabric suitable for high-traffic environments?
The material is engineered for contract-grade use and retains its elasticity and shape over sustained daily wear. The seamless wrapping eliminates the separation points where traditional upholstery tends to fail first.
