What material is the Gilda B. chair shell made from?

The shell is formed from transparent crystal-amber polycarbonate, a material Jacopo Foggini has explored extensively for its capacity to transmit and diffuse light. The result is a chair that appears to glow from within under both natural and artificial light.

Who designed the Gilda B. chair and who is it named after?

The chair was designed by Jacopo Foggini for Edra. It is named in honour of Gilda Bojardi, the long-serving editor of magazine, whose influence on Italian design culture spans several decades.

Who is Jacopo Foggini?

Jacopo Foggini is a Milan-based designer and artist recognised for his signature use of polycarbonate, which he shapes into richly coloured, light-catching objects and furniture. His work occupies the space between design and sculpture, and he has collaborated with Edra on several celebrated pieces.

Is the Gilda B. chair available in other colours or finishes?

The Gilda B. is produced by Edra as a made-to-order piece. For confirmed finish options and lead times, it is best to consult directly with an authorised Edra representative or a design professional.

How does the Gilda B. chair perform in a formal dining context?

The chair's single-body shell and considered proportions give it a sculptural presence that reads well at a dining table set for formal occasions. The amber polycarbonate maintains visual lightness despite the chair's strong silhouette, so it does not overwhelm a room.
