Paola Navone is an Italian architect and designer born in Turin in 1950, a 1973 architecture graduate of the Politecnico di Torino. Based in Milan, she worked alongside Alessandro Mendini, Ettore Sottsass and Andrea Branzi in the radical design movement of the 1970s, and has built a wide practice spanning architecture, interiors, products, exhibitions and teaching.
For Midj she designed the Plissé Table, the Plissé Coffee Table and the Plissé Table Base. A slightly ironic tribute to the pleated garments of the 1950s and 1960s, the sculptural base in lacquered metal supports the Plissé Table's round top, offered in veneered wood, crystalceramic or marble.
