Edra
Their non-conventional debut in 1987 was based around the "I Nuovissimi" collection, furniture pieces conceived by young, relatively unknown designers. The company grew rapidly with its innovative approach and art direction of Milan-based architect Massimo Morozzi. The aptitude of talent scouts has allowed the company to bring together some of the most interesting new designers, such as Alessandro Mendini, Masanori Umeda from Japan, Francesco Binfaré, Fernando and Humbero Campana from Brazil, Ross Lovegrove from Wales, and some top architects, such as Zaha Hadid and the Australian studio Denton Corker and Marshall to develop products that are grounded in fresh, contemporary ideas. Flexible in its organisation, Edra makes resourceful use of the skills of its local area to create innovative products, at times revolutionising classic upholstered furniture.
Mario Cananzi & Roberto Semprini
Mario Cananzi, born in Rimini in 1958, and Roberto Semprini, born there in 1959, both studied architecture in Florence before working as designers in Milan. Cananzi, who also took a master’s in industrial design at the Domus Academy, has designed motorcycles for Piaggio, Yamaha and KTM, while Semprini, a member of the Bolidismo group, teaches design at the Brera Academy.
Their Tatlin Sofa for Edra, loosely based on Tatlin’s tower, emblem of Constructivism, won a Top Ten prize in 1993 and remains an Edra icon, also made as the Tatlin Diamond Sofa with Swarovski crystals.
