Mi Chair

mi chair
Design Giovanni Pagnotta, 2010
Polyethylene
Made in USA by Heller
Pushing the idea of furniture as sculpture to the limit, the Mi Chair is an impressive feat of engineering, as well as a beautiful, comfortable, modern chair to enjoy indoors and out.
The Mi Chair (pronounced "me") is a sculptural chair for you, me, and everyone. Fascinated by the laws of physics, Italian designer Giovanni Pagnotta designed this chair to demonstrate how compound curves are highly efficient at transferring and managing load. "By using curvature, you can optimize strength while minimizing material usage," says Giovanni. "The challenging part is translating that into a comfortable chair." Challenge met and exceeded, as the sleek Mi Chair provides ergonomic support while holding the sitter in a comfortable position. Plus, it's made of polyethylene, which has a natural flex and give.
Pagnotta describes himself as a creator, more than a designer, engineer, or builder. He is driven by his love for materials, and he allows them to guide his creative process. Pagnotta has collaborated with private clients on custom installations and notable brands such as Chanel, Herman Miller, Tecno, and Artemide.
