Midj | Bolle

The company's skill in metalworking, combined with Paola Navone's creativity, has given rise to an outdoor collection with a Mediterranean spirit

The artisanal vocation of Midj articulated on an industrial scale and above all their expertise in working with metal, combined with the creativity of Paola Navone has produced Bolle. A collection with a mediterranean feel that has been conceived for outdoor use and includes sofas, armchairs, tables, chairs and lamps in coloured macro-perforated metal. This family of products speaks of the sea, through a fresh and lively design born out of the sketches, proposals, tests and prototypes produced by the designer. 

The name is derived from the special treatment of the metal seat-bodies that produces a pattern with a strong graphic impact. The seats appear as enveloping shells, that can be customised with soft cushions. The lamps, perfect for illuminating terraces, gardens and outdoor areas, create a special atmosphere thanks to the play of light and shadow. The unmistakable style of Paola Navone is also evident in the choice of colours, that conveys her great passion for the sea.
