Designer Chairs in the Novecento Milan

Walking through these galleries in the Museo del Novecento, you sense how Milan’s identity as an industrial and design capital fueled radical approaches to form and meaning. This is complemented on the ground floor, before exiting the museum, where visitors may admire or sit on the 25 different chairs produced by local furniture companies for famous designers ranging from Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s MR Side Chair (1927) to Piero Lissoni’s Nebbia (2022).
