Sedia Gina
Made by Edra
Designed by Jacopo Foggini
Jacopo Foggini lavora quasi esclusivamente con il policarbonato, un materiale che ha impiegato decenni a spingere verso qualcosa di più vicino alla scultura che al mobile. La sedia Gina è tra le sue esplorazioni più espressive di questo processo.
Ogni seduta e schienale è intrecciato a mano con filamenti di policarbonato colorato, producendo una fitta rete simile a un pizzo che rifrange la luce in modo diverso a seconda dell'ora, dell'angolazione e della stanza. L'effetto non è mai statico. Ciò che da lontano appare come una silhouette grafica si dissolve in trasparenza da vicino, rivelando la profondità stratificata dell'intreccio sottostante.
La struttura e l'ornamento sono lo stesso gesto. Le gambe rimovibili in legno verniciato, rifinite in nero semilucido, danno al pezzo una sobria formalità, offrendo un contrasto ponderato con il corpo luminoso soprastante.

Domande Frequenti
What material is the Gina Chair made from?
The seat and back of the Gina Chair are hand-woven from polycarbonate filaments, a thermoplastic material Jacopo Foggini has worked with throughout his career. Polycarbonate is highly resistant to impact and UV degradation, and its translucency allows it to interact with light in ways that are visually distinctive. The legs are wood, finished in a semi-gloss black paint.
Is the polycarbonate weaving done by hand?
Yes. Foggini's polycarbonate pieces are produced through a painstaking hand-crafting process in which filaments are shaped and layered while warm, giving each piece a degree of individual character. No two chairs are precisely identical.
Who is designer Jacopo Foggini?
Jacopo Foggini is a Milan-based artist and designer known for his singular use of polycarbonate as a sculptural medium. His work sits at the intersection of craft and contemporary art, and has been collected by museums and private collectors internationally. He has collaborated with Edra on several pieces that exemplify this approach.
Are the legs of the Gina Chair removable?
Yes, the legs are designed to be removable, which simplifies shipping and installation without compromising the structural integrity of the piece once assembled.
How should polycarbonate furniture be cleaned and maintained?
Polycarbonate surfaces should be wiped with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or ammonia-based products, which can cloud or scratch the surface. Mild soap and water is generally sufficient for routine care.
