FRAME CHAIR Collection

Alberto Meda, 1991

The products of the FRAME CHAIR collection display a light and rigorous touch, which results in comfortable seats. In various sizes, the stackable Highframe 40, Bigframe 44 and Frame 52 chairs are available with or without armrests. The Frame stools are perfectly consistent with the collection and are available in two heights.
The version with seat and backrest in PVC-coated polyester mesh is complemented by leather and fabric versions for a more sophisticated style.

About
FRAME CHAIR

Frame represents a landmark in contemporary design and is still one of Alias' most successful product lines today.
Reducing the number of components, integrating functions and enhancing the performance of materials are the key factors that collectively shape the seemingly simple image of this collection. Frame embodies the Italian designer's approach, integrating product design and engineering in his work.

Alberto Meda

He was born in Lenno Tremezzina (Como) in 1945. He graduated in mechanical engineering from the Polytechnic University of Milan. In 1987 and 1989, he designed two historic chairs for Alias, Lightlight and Softlight, the first currently on display in MoMA’s permanent collection. The first Alias chairs of the Frame collection date back to 1994, followed in 2003 by Frametable, in 2007 by the Tech wood outdoor collection, and in 2009 by the Biplane tables. In 2011, he was awarded ADI’S Compasso d’Oro for the Teak folding outdoor table. He co-designed the Hydrochair chair (2011) and the HUB system (2022) with Francesco Meda. He lives and works in Milan.
