Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the Edra Grinza Chair?

The Grinza Chair was designed by Fernando and Humberto Campana, the Brazilian brothers whose practice is known for blending cultural memory with contemporary furniture design. It was produced by the Italian manufacturer Edra, a long-standing collaborator.

What does 'Grinza' mean and why is it relevant?

Grinza is the Italian word for wrinkle or fold. The name directly references the chair's defining characteristic: upholstery that is deliberately gathered and draped over the frame rather than stretched smooth, giving each piece its expressive, individual character.

What upholstery options are available for the Grinza Chair?

The Grinza Chair is available in leather or fur coverings, both of which amplify the sculptural quality of the draped padding. Because it is made to order, individual pieces carry natural variation in how the material settles and folds.

Is the Grinza Chair made to order?

Yes. The Grinza is a made-to-order piece, which means lead times apply and configuration choices are confirmed at the time of inquiry. This production method also contributes to the subtle uniqueness of each individual chair.

How does the Campana Brothers' background inform the Grinza's design?

Fernando and Humberto Campana developed their practice in São Paulo, drawing on Brazilian craft traditions, found materials, and a sensibility that prizes emotional expression over formal minimalism. The Grinza reflects that ethos: it is structured yet deliberately unresolved, prioritizing feeling over finish.
