PRODUCT STORY: Miau: Sculpting Wood, Shaping Stories Vol.2
The name "Miau" carries a sense of playfulness, referencing a cat—an organic, living inspiration. GamFratesi felt that, in designing a solid wooden chair like this, the armrest would always be touched and caressed by the hands of the user. The smooth curves of the armrest invite the hand naturally, creating an instinctive connection between the user and the material.
“When you have an armrest, it’s something you really want to touch, and it’s something you will always touch,” says GamFratesi, emphasizing the importance of this sensory experience. The name felt natural, reflecting the chair’s warmth and the way it draws people in through touch.

The Miau series, which began with the Miau Armchair, has evolved to include dining tables and lounge chairs, further expanding its versatility. Whether placed around a dining table, as a sculptural statement in a corner, or as a comfortable lounge piece, each element in the Miau series embodies the same refined craftsmanship and thoughtful design.
With this expansion, GamFratesi continues to explore the relationship between material, form, and touch, ensuring that every piece in the collection upholds the integrity and refinement that first defined Miau.
