Mickey

by India Mahdavi

Gebrüder Thonet Vienna renews their collaboration with India Mahdavi: for the second year in a row, the unmistakable style of the internationally renowned architect and designer meets the Austrian brand’s emblematic curved lines, giving life to a lounge chair.

In response to the invitation of the historic company Gebrüder Thonet Vienna, India Mahdavi designed a new lounge chair, called Mickey for its characteristic “ears” that recall those of a mouse, a palpable echo to Mahdavi’s “childhood heroes”. The Mickey armchair combines a black wood structure in slight contrast with two different nuances of green upholstery, highlighting the piece’s playful soul. “Gebrüder Thonet Vienna is the only manufacturer in the world that enables you to translate a free hand drawing by giving it a wooden materiality of that quality” says India Mahdavi.

In the words of India Mahdavi: “The Mickey chair is high and comfy but also embracing, colourful and kind. A friend to cherish and with big ears, who listens to all your fears.”
