Frequently Asked Questions

What material is the Gina Chair made from?

The Gina Chair's seat and back are hand-woven from colored polycarbonate filaments, a thermoplastic material Foggini has developed as his signature medium over several decades. The legs are painted wood in a semi-gloss black finish.

Is each Gina Chair made by hand?

Yes. The weaving of polycarbonate filaments is a manual process, meaning each chair carries subtle variation in its mesh and light-refracting qualities. This handcraft is central to Foggini's practice and is not incidental to the design.

Who is designer Jacopo Foggini?

Jacopo Foggini is a Milan-based designer and artist whose work centers almost entirely on polycarbonate as both material and medium. His pieces sit at the boundary between functional object and sculpture, and have been collected and exhibited internationally.

How does the Gina Chair perform in different lighting conditions?

The woven polycarbonate mesh behaves differently across light conditions, appearing as a dense, graphic form in ambient light and becoming translucent and color-saturated under direct or raking light. The chair's presence in a space changes throughout the day.

Is the Gina Chair suitable for contract or hospitality use?

The Gina Chair is primarily positioned as a residential or gallery-context piece. Its hand-woven construction and expressive materiality make it well-suited to architecturally considered interiors where it can be seen from multiple angles and under varied lighting.
