Mingardo Eso Chair Designed by Andrea Tognon

Eso is a chair by Mingardo, designed by Andrea Tognon. It combines stainless steel and leather to create a clean, elegant look.

The chair has a tubular steel frame with a clear, geometric shape, softened by full-grain leather wrapping. The mix of strong steel and soft leather brings balance—steel gives durability, while leather adds comfort and texture. Eso has a sculptural feel without being too bold, making it a good fit for quiet lounges, open living spaces, or stylish offices. Its design is both strong and welcoming, turning a simple structure into something made for daily use.

Mingardo was founded in 1970. The workshop started with traditional carpentry and grew into a studio known for expert metalwork. Early work with designers like Carlo Scarpa led to projects for major cultural sites like the Museo del Novecento in Milan and Teatro Petruzzelli in Bari.
