Sedia Getsuen
Made by Edra
La poltrona Getsuen, disegnata da Masanori Umeda per Edra, fiorisce con un'eleganza ispirata al giglio, celando al contempo una robusta struttura in acciaio modellata a mano. Il suo corpo morbido, imbottito con schiuma poliuretanica su pannelli a media densità, offre un comfort avvolgente rivestito in velluto di lusso, mentre i sottili piedini in ottone cromato e le discrete ruote in PLT verde conferiscono grazia e mobilità. Questa poltrona bilancia con eleganza la forma delicata e le prestazioni durature, mostrando l'artigianato in ogni linea. È una presenza serena e sicura; poetica, tattile e tecnicamente raffinata.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the Getsuen Chair and when?
The Getsuen Chair was designed by Japanese designer Masanori Umeda for Edra in 1990. Umeda trained under Achille Castiglioni in Milan before returning to a practice informed by both European postmodernism and Japanese craft traditions.
What does 'Getsuen' mean?
Getsuen is a Japanese word meaning 'moon garden.' The name reflects Umeda's poetic approach to design, situating the chair within a natural and contemplative register rather than a strictly functional one.
What materials is the Getsuen Chair made from?
The chair is built on a hand-modeled steel frame supported by medium-density panels, with polyurethane foam cushioning and a velvet outer finish. Chromed brass feet and green PLT casters complete the construction.
Is the Edra Getsuen Chair still in production?
Yes, Edra continues to produce the Getsuen Chair as part of its permanent collection. It is made to order at Edra's facility in Tuscany, Italy.
How does the Getsuen Chair relate to Memphis design?
Masanori Umeda was an active participant in the Memphis Group, the Milan-based collective founded by Ettore Sottsass in 1981. The Getsuen Chair, though designed after his Memphis years, carries forward that movement's interest in organic metaphor, cultural hybridity, and design as a form of expression beyond utility.
