Paolo Vernier

Paolo Vernier is an Italian designer, born in 1946, who began designing chairs at a young age. He is the founder and president of Midj, and his work favors simple, elegant lines suited to both public and domestic settings, with close attention to technical detail and craftsmanship.

For Midj he designed the Akashi Table, a four-legged table built on proportion and balance. Square lacquered aluminum legs and a carefully resolved junction with the top give it a light, suspended presence; the structure carries tops up to three meters long without additional supports, and ceramic and glass versions are suited to outdoor use.
