Federica Biasi designs 'Edda' floor armchair for De Padova's 70th anniversary at Milan Design Week 2026

To celebrate its 70th birthday, De Padova has launched the 'Edda' armchair, designed by Milanese designer Federica Biasi. This piece beautifully marries Japanese design principles with the brand's storied heritage. It updates the traditional Japanese floor chair with a sleek black frame and short front legs, complemented by rounded bars that recline backward. The upholstery, white and angled oppositely, creates a dynamic feel. Biasi emphasizes the chair's simplicity alongside its rich narrative, highlighted by clean stitching and comfortable padding on a robust wooden base. The 'Edda' offers choices in removable fabric, leather, or velvet. It will debut at Milan Design Week 2026 in the De Padova and Boffi De Padova showrooms, signaling an exciting collaboration between Biasi and the brand.
