Vittorio Nobili was an Italian designer best known for the Medea chair, one of the distinctive seating designs of 1950s Italian modernism. Produced by Fratelli Tagliabue, the Medea combined a sculpted plywood shell with a slender tubular metal frame, reflecting the period’s experimentation with industrial materials and lightweight construction. Offered in different veneers and configurations, the design received recognition at the 1955 Compasso d’Oro.
