Designed by Francesco Binfaré for Edra, Chiara is an elegant, comfortable and versatile armchair, thanks to the 'smart' cushion used in its backrest. The base, equipped with a swivel system, is made of tubular and extruded steel. The armchair is available in fabric, velvet or leather upholstery in Edra collection colours. The 'smart' cushion can be tilted in any direction, forward or backward, providing exceptional comfort. With its chrome-plated base that reflects the floor, the armchair seems almost suspended in the air. Simple and elegant, classic and timeless, Chiara by Edra will fit into any style of space.

Francesco Binfaré was born in Milan, Italy, in 1939. After completing his artistic training under his father, he began working for Cassina in 1960, initially as a researcher for new technologies and then as Cesare Cassina's assistant for new projects and later for the production of prototypes. From 1969 to 1976, he was director of Centro Cassina and was responsible for the creation of design classics such as "Up 5" by Gaetano Pesce (1969) and "AEO" by Paolo Deganello (1973). In 1980, he set up the Centro design e comunicazione to develop projects. After leaving Cassina in 1991, Francesco Binfaré designed seats that have become design icons such as the matching "L'Homme et la Femme" (1993), Tangeri (1994) and Angels (1996) sofas for Edra; the "Girotonda" armchair in 1994 and the "Grand'angolo" sofa in 1995 for Adele C.

EDRA
Edra carved its path with courage, professionalism, respect and heart. Edra has created a story that will be remembered thanks to high-quality production that goes beyond fashions and trends. Edra is a sophisticated brand that combines modern technology and artistic tradition. Production is the result of a combination of creative talent, specialised manual skills, and research into innovative materials and technologies. As the exclusive technology featured in the smart cushion illustrates, Edra is extremely concerned with the comfort of its products; the latter of which responds effectively to their various uses, from reading and conversations to viewing screens.
