The story
The name "Edra" is a modification of the Greek word "έδρα", meaning a place for philosophical discussion. Founded in 1987, Edra is an international design furniture company that is based in Italy. It is known for manufacturing designs that challenge preconceived notions of how a chair, sofa, table, bed, storage cabinet, or even a mirror can look. Working with several critically-acclaimed designers like Francesco Binfaré, Humberto and Fernando Campana, and Jacopo Foggini – all of whom use materials and technologies in unexpected ways combined with artistic tradition to create furniture and objects that are profoundly sculptural seemingly often with no historic aesthetic precedent.
