101domus Welcomes Medea 1905: Italian Classic and Contemporary Luxury Furniture

A name with more than a century of history in Italian seating has officially arrived on the 101domus platform. Medea 1905 joins the marketplace with a catalogue of Italian classic luxury furniture that moves comfortably between traditional silhouettes and contemporary lines: sofas, armchairs, chairs, tables, consoles and sideboards built on wood, leather, fabric, marble and metal. Founded in 1905 in Friuli Venezia Giulia, the company has spent more than a century refining the craft of upholstered and wooden furniture, and today pairs that heritage with a contract division able to work for villas, hotels and commercial spaces. For architects, interior designers and FF&E buyers who need furniture with a strong material identity, the arrival of Medea 1905 on 101domus opens a direct line to a long-established Italian workshop.

The brand's approach rests on a simple idea: classic furniture does not have to look old. Medea 1905 draws on the grammar of traditional Italian design, with refined proportions, lacquered frames, bronze-finish details and marble tops, and reads it through a lighter, more architectural eye. The result is a body of work that suits formal residences as naturally as boutique hotels, private lounges and hospitality suites, where a single sofa or console can define the character of an entire room.

Classic and Art Deco Character, Made in Italy

Medea 1905 presents itself through two complementary worlds. The first is the Ottocento universe, rooted in the elegance of the 800 collection, where classical references are reinterpreted for modern living rooms and dining rooms. The second is the Lifestyle universe, more relaxed and contemporary, where seating and tables answer to current ways of living without losing the refinement of the house style. Between the two, the catalogue covers the full residential sequence: reception, living, dining and bedroom, with pieces that can be combined within a single scheme.

The company also runs a contract division. Through it, Medea 1905 develops bespoke projects for villas, hotels, including large hotel groups, and commercial venues, in either a classic or a contemporary key, relying on a flexible production approach. For professionals planning custom hospitality or residential work, this makes Medea 1905 more than a source of finished pieces: it is a partner able to translate a design brief into furniture.

Living Room Pieces: Andromeda and Dahlia

The Andromeda 2-seater sofa shows the brand's talent for mixing materials. A wooden frame in ebonized lacquer, bronze-finish details and a backrest in Indian cane with a cushion sit above an upholstered seat, giving the piece a lightness that more heavily padded sofas rarely achieve. It works as a reading sofa in a private residence or as a refined seat in a hotel lounge. The Dahlia armchair takes a more sculptural route, with a matte black lacquered wooden frame and a seat and backrest upholstered in leather. Its compact, enveloping profile makes it a natural companion to a sofa or a pair for a conversation corner.

Marble and Metal: Idro and Lotus Tables

Tables are where Medea 1905 lets marble and metal take the lead. The Idro round table combines wooden legs in ebonized lacquer, bronze-finish tips and a marble top, a combination that suits a dining room or a generous entrance hall where a circular shape encourages conversation. The Lotus table rests on a metal base lacquered in matte gold or matte copper, topped with marble, and offers a warmer, more decorative alternative for interiors that favour metallic tones. Both pieces show how the brand uses stone and lacquered metal not as decoration but as structure.

Sideboard and Console: Juliet and Iris

For storage and display, the Juliet sideboard builds a dark Canaletto walnut structure with nubuck inserts, a metal base and handles lacquered in matte gold or copper, and a marble top. It is a substantial piece, designed to anchor a dining room or a long living wall. The Iris console is its lighter counterpart: a metal base in matte gold or copper under a marble top, intended to be fixed to the wall, which gives entrance halls and corridors a clean, gallery-like surface for lamps and objects.

Why Medea 1905 Suits International Projects

For the 101domus network of interior designers, architects and procurement professionals working across the Gulf, Central Asia, Eastern Europe and beyond, Italian classic luxury furniture from Medea 1905 answers a recurring need: pieces that are unmistakably Made in Italy, built from real materials such as walnut, leather, marble and lacquered metal, and flexible enough to move between a private villa and a hospitality scheme. The combination of a recognisable catalogue, a century-old workshop tradition and contract capabilities gives specifiers both finished products and a partner for custom work.

With Medea 1905 now present on 101domus, professionals can explore the full collection, compare the Ottocento and Lifestyle universes, and select the sofas, armchairs, tables and consoles that bring balance, craftsmanship and Italian character to the interiors they are designing.
