Memphis Milano – First Chair – Michele de Lucchi – 1983

The Memphis Milano First Chair was designed by Michele de Lucchi in 1983. Its bold combination of silver, blue and black elements creates a strong sculptural presence in a dining room, study or entryway. The chair combines lacquered wood with a coated metal frame, while the cut-out backrest gives the design its unmistakable Memphis character.

First Chair by Michele de Lucchi

The sophisticated design evokes planetary orbits. Connected geometric elements form the seat and backrest, so the chair looks almost like a small piece of architecture. At the same time, the practical proportions keep it useful as seating. In addition, the open backrest gives the chair a lighter appearance than a fully upholstered design.

The strong colour contrast works well in a contemporary interior, but it also complements other Memphis Milano furniture and vintage Italian design. Use it as a dining chair, a desk chair or a unique accent piece. Because the chair has such a clear silhouette, it remains visually interesting even when placed on its own.
