The Milano armchair represents the encounter between design and architecture: it is characterized by an architectural back that takes inspiration from the shape of a skyscraper. The armchair, inspired by the Isozaki tower in Milan, embodies elegant modernity and urban refinement. The body is in polystyrene and polyurethane foam: this reduces CO2 emissions up to 60% compared to traditional production; The coating is in full grain leather, the legs are bronze. Each armchair has an NFC connected to its NFT digital certificate on Blockchain.

Bio
After a twenty-year career focused on the design of significant architectural and interior design projects commissioned in Italy, in the Middle East and Central Asia, Paolo Lettieri has decided to found 29 Milan, a brand dedicated to design.
The number 29 was chosen to underline the professional turning point and the change of dimensions that moves from architecture to design: the number 29 symbolizes the transformation, change and opening to new beginnings. On the contrary, Milan, the city of design, represents the place where everything has started, represents continuity.
