Specifying seating for several sites is a logistics exercise before it is a design one. Milani publishes the numbers that matter: every Nordic model ships in a box of 0.61 m³, with gross weights of 30 kg for the presidential, 28 for the executive and 23.5 for the visitor chair. One volume, three weights — and the chairs arrive fully assembled.
Inside that box sits a design by Baldanzi & Novelli built on a single curve: a steel rod in the backrest, a rigid structural insert at 70 kg/m³ that includes the armrests, and a softer second layer of cold foam above it. Both are declared fire-retardant, and the chair carries class 1IM.
From the room schedule to the shipping documents, La Mercanti runs the file with Milani and returns every configuration confirmed in writing.
