Midi
“Midi is not a brand that simply manufactures furniture …. It’s an idea that revisits and reinvents ancestral workmanship methods and creates experiences: a perfect balance between folklore, the know-how of excellence, and the innovation of forms and patterns.” It’s not about building yet another piece of furniture, or that one object too many. It’s about reconnecting with craftsmanship, in the preservation and transmission of know-how. All the matrix materials come from nature, from sustainably managed oak forests or from the banks of the Rhone for straw.
