Super Cantina: Michael Young x Sawaya & Moroni

Michael Young has designed Super Cantina, a chair for his old friends Paulo and William at Sawaya and Moroni in Milan. The chair was conceived as a somewhat conceptual take on the classic Italian Cantina chair.  His first cooperation dates back to the 1990s with the wooden MY69 Chair. A pre-Covid trip rekindled conversations to work on a piece using the best of Italian craftsmanship. "It's really about having a great place seat to eat from which is why I arrived are the pony skin and finely sculptured steel. It also comes in a variety of other finishes and will be launched at the newly opened Milan Showroom during Salone 5th - 10th September.

Sawaya & Moroni emerged on the international design scene in 1984 relatively quickly combining the professional talent of architect and designer William Sawaya with the entrepreneurship of Paolo Moroni. The company is now set as a manufacturer of high-quality design furniture. Both partners are from areas unrelated to the furniture, so the lack of family's tradition to be respected and passed, typical of this area, become a positive element, free from all conceptual and productive restrictions. Thanks to this freedom borns a collection of limited editions signed by the great protagonists of contemporary architecture, design and art, together with a multitude of furniture, silver and artefacts that have found a place in private collections and design museums around the world.
