MHC.3 MISS Dining Chair by Molteni&C

By Dawson & Co.
Website
Ash Wood in Open Pore Black Lacquered

Miss chair, designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa in 1986. The form is linked to a system of soft, unbroken, linear rhythms. The legs are slim and divaricated, to ensure stability. The front ones are bent to form the armrests and continue into the curve of the backrest. The back legs reach the backrest from behind, underpinning it. The seat is inserted between the lines and links them. Tobia Scarpa has re-designed the armrest joint to make the chair comfier and more linear. Structure in natural or black tinted ash, seat in leather or hand woven, ecru or grey, paper cord.

A system of lines, with a soft and flowing design, signs the rythm of Miss, the chair by Afra and Tobia Scarpa from 1986. Molteni&C focuses its attention once again on the masters of architecture and design with a re-make project of this object, that has its roots in the craft tradition, yet is still modern even after 30 years.

"Knowing how to build is a debt to technique. Knowing how to give a meaning to things I create is a debt to logic required by the forms." - Tobia Scarpa

For over 45 years the Dawson family and our wonderful staff have been filling homes with designer furniture sourced from New Zealand and abroad. We travel extensively, collaborating with our manufacturing partners to ensure we bring the best value product we can find. Our philosophy is simple - to showcase great quality, honest furniture from brilliant craftspeople in a welcoming environment. 

How do we achieve this?

We are extremely lucky to have fostered strong relationships with renowned international furniture brands and designers including Molteni & C, Timothy Oulton, Dedon and Tribu. Buying directly from international suppliers enables us to remove the added layers of costs and complexity so we can pass the savings on to the consumer.

What is great quality?

We believe it is a fine balance of design and materials. That is why prior to adding any product collections we meet the artisans in their workshops and factories anywhere they manufacture around the world, which involves us spending up to 3 months a year travelling to Asia and Europe. All too often we have been shown cheaper items but they turn out to be inferior. All our staff are highly trained professionals who can tell you about our furniture in detail.
