An Exploration of Form through Sensitivity, Intention, and the Pursuit of Beauty
“Presence. That can be basically called “love”. We live in times where our time and attention are stolen from us. If through my designs I can create a moment of surprise, happiness, pause or connection that brings about presence, I have achieved my goal.”
Mario Milana

MM1 is an armchair inspired by the tilting backrest introduced by Le Corbusier, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Its name pays homage to the master, translating a historical gesture into a modern, sculptural form.
Two adjustable spheres positioned at the back regulate the tilt of the backrest, allowing the sitter to fine-tune comfort and posture. Balancing function and design, the chair reveals its mechanism openly—an object where movement, structure, and intention are inseparable.
