Midj Chairs

Midj Chairs: Italian Comfort with a Contemporary Edge

If you have spent any time with Midj’s collections, you know their chairs sit in a very particular sweet spot. They feel contemporary and design driven, but they are also clearly built for everyday use. Midj in Italy was founded in 1987 in Cordovado, in the Friuli region, and still operates as a family driven company with design, engineering, and production rooted in the same territory. In our experience, that local focus shows up in how consistent the quality feels across different models and finishes.

Midj’s chairs are designed for dining rooms, lounges, workspaces, cafés, and hotels, with many pieces crossing easily from residential into contract projects. The brand blends Italian craftsmanship with industrial scale production, which is why you will often see it grouped alongside other luxury furniture brands on design platforms and in architect specifications.

What Defines Midj Chairs

Most Midj collections share a few defining traits: modern silhouettes, soft and enveloping forms, and a strong focus on comfort. The chairs are typically offered as full families, with side chairs, armchairs, lounge versions, and matching seating at bar height. When a project also includes Midj tables, that family approach really pays off, because the bases, materials, and profiles align beautifully throughout the space.

Materials range from painted metal sled or four leg bases to wooden frames, with shells and seats in leather, fabric, hide, or technopolymer. Production combines careful welding, refined upholstery work, and advanced machinery, so you get a consistent result even on larger orders. What we can tell you is that clients tend to comment first on how soft the seat and back feel compared to how visually light the chairs appear.

Customer Favorite: Wrap SM TS Chair

The Wrap SM TS Chair is one of our customer favorites and a clear example of Midj’s design balance. The backrest gently wraps around the sitter, creating a supportive, cocoon like feel without looking bulky. Many clients choose a leather seat paired with a contrasting fabric on the back side, which looks beautiful from every angle and adds subtle texture around the table. If you are shopping for modern dining room chairs that still feel welcoming, this model is often the first place we point people.

Real World Projects Using Midj Chairs

Midj chairs are widely specified across hospitality and commercial spaces. At the Sky Box Udinese Calcio in Udine, Italy, Sonny Chairs are used to create a comfortable, contemporary viewing and hospitality environment. The Succulent Port de Sóller project in Palma de Mallorca, Spain features the Apelle Chairs in a relaxed, coastal hospitality setting. Seeing the same brand perform confidently in both corporate and resort environments is one of the reasons designers continue to return to Midj.

We also see Midj specified frequently in restaurant dining rooms and hotel lounges, often alongside Midj stools at bar counters. In those cases, the ability to carry one design language from dining zones to bar areas and casual corners becomes a real functional advantage.

Where Midj Chairs Fit Best

Midj chairs work especially well in a modern dining table and chairs setup, where comfort needs to match visual lightness. They are equally at home in cafés and informal restaurants that want something more polished than standard bistro chairs, while still being easy to live with day to day. For home offices and meeting rooms, the softer upholstered models help prevent a space from feeling too rigid or overly corporate.

Over time, we have noticed that Midj tends to be a strong choice for clients who care about ergonomics and finish quality, but want something warmer and more approachable than ultra minimal steel or plastic seating.
