Margherita
Edra presents Margherita as an impressive armchair that remains visually light through the use of polycarbonate. The tall, swivelling form has rounded lines and a slender shape. Its body is made entirely by hand and rests on a cone-shaped pedestal that enables the swivel system. Edra states that each piece is unique. The official description also highlights the armchair's ability to play with light: it assumes different shades and shines when placed near light sources. The page credits Jacopo Foggini and records Margherita in projects including Petra Winery, Swarovski Museum and the Italian Embassy in Berlin.
Story
Light, movement and a handmade body
Margherita combines a tall, slender armchair silhouette with a body made entirely by hand. Edra identifies polycarbonate as the material that keeps the imposing form visually light. A cone-shaped pedestal enables the swivel system, while rounded lines shape the chair above it. Each piece is unique, and the surface can assume different shades and shine near light sources. Edra's project list places Margherita in residential, hospitality, museum, diplomatic and winery settings across Europe.
