The name Mi is drawn from Chinese pinyin, carrying a double meaning: the act of looking, and the idea of a secret. Designed by Shanghai and London-based studio Neri & Hu, the collection is built around this tension between what is shown and what is withheld. Objects rest partially concealed behind an oblong external shell, glimpsed through bronzed tempered glass rather than fully exposed. Each piece is constructed from curved plywood panels set within refined metal frames. The geometry is essential, the proportions deliberate. Storage becomes as much about atmosphere as function, a quiet architecture of suggestion that rewards sustained attention. Curved plywood panels within refined metal frames Bronzed tempered glass panels Curated finish options suited to a range of interior contexts Designed by Neri & Hu for Poltrona Frau Neri & Hu bring to Poltrona Frau a sensibility shaped by both Eastern and Western architectural traditions, one that values restraint as a form of richness. The Mi collection is a precise expression of that dialogue, furniture that holds its own counsel.
