MIDJ took part in the 2025 edition of the Salone del Mobile.Milano with a vision rooted in nature as a source of inspiration and well-being. Remaining true to its commitment to blending artisanal tradition with contemporary innovation, the company strengthened its identity by embracing the concept of biophilic design, a spatial planning philosophy that integrated natural elements to promote physical, psychological, and emotional wellness.
With the goal of creating healthier, more stimulating, and productive environments that reduced stress and improved quality of life, MIDJ introduced several new designs that embodied its vision of an "evolved haven." Among the standout pieces were the Yak sofa by Nicola Bonriposi, an evolved Plissé collection by Paola Navone, the Sesamo line from the Officina delle Idee, and the Leo table designed by Paolo Vernier in collaboration with MIDJ's in-house research lab.
The Plissé collection, long celebrated for its elegance and signature folds that evoked a sense of lightness, was refreshed with three new coffee tables and a completely new dining table, once again designed by Paola Navone. The collection's sartorial inspiration was clearly reflected in the silhouette of the tops, which appeared to drape delicately over the structure.
With Leo, Paolo Vernier reimagined the archetype of the central-leg table with a bold exercise in minimalism. The stem, reduced to a mere 2.6 cm in diameter in the version supporting tops up to 90 cm, challenged structural conventions while maintaining remarkable strength—even when used with substantial materials such as marble.
The Yak sofa by Nicola Bonriposi showcased modular flexibility and was engineered entirely without screws. Its interlocking assembly system allowed for easy disassembly and ensured excellent separation of components at the end of its lifecycle. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, Yak exemplified MIDJ's commitment to sustainable design.
The Sesamo table, developed by the Officina delle Idee, encapsulated the company's core philosophy: a linear, detail-oriented aesthetic with a focus on customisation. The tops ranged from refined wood finishes to more contemporary materials, all supported by a metal frame that ensured both stability and a sense of visual lightness. Notably, the piece featured a semi-automatic extension mechanism that enabled a smooth, effortless opening and closing experience.
Through these new designs, MIDJ reaffirmed its role as a dynamic and forward-looking presence in the world of furniture design—continually evolving, yet deeply connected to the essence of nature and human-centred spaces.
