When Marcel Wanders designed the Monster Chair in 2014, the \u201cmonster\u201d part was mostly conceptual. The piece had presence, sure, with its quilted leather upholstery and angular obsidian-like legs, but the actual aesthetic leaned more toward restrained decadence than outright chaos. It was a chair that suggested mischief without committing to it fully. That restraint just got thrown out the window.<\/p>\n

Moooi\u2019s 25th anniversary celebration at Milan Design Week 2026 brought a reimagined Monster Chair collection to Superstudio Events, and this time the monsters are unavoidable. Each chair in the lineup features a hand-embroidered creature sprawling across the backrest, rendered in vivid, layered threadwork. One has concentric-circle eyes in clashing neon tones. Another hides behind ornate red filigree that frames its face like vintage wallpaper turned sentient. There are geometric flames, pink zigzag teeth, emerald scrollwork that could be tentacles or vines depending on your interpretation. The base silhouette stays true to the original, that black quilted leather and sculptural leg structure providing just enough formality to make the embroidered chaos feel intentional rather than random. It\u2019s furniture that demands attention, and after 25 years of pushing boundaries, Moooi clearly has no plans to apologize for that.<\/p>\n

Designer: Marcel Wanders for Moooi<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The embroidery work transforms an already iconic chair into a craft-intensive Labubu-esque character. Each monster appears to be unique, with thread layered in ways that create dimensional relief against the quilted leather backdrop. Some faces use densely packed stitching that gives them an almost patch-like quality, while others employ looser, more organic threadwork that lets the black leather show through. The color palettes vary wildly from chair to chair. One goes heavy on emerald green and white, another commits to a red and orange gradient that feels almost pyrographic. The effect is a collection where every piece reads as an individual artwork rather than a production run with minor variations.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Monster Chair\u2019s original form was already theatrical, with its deep button tufting and geometric legs that look like something between furniture and sculpture. Adding these embroidered creatures could have tipped the whole thing into novelty territory, but the execution is too considered for that. The monsters are bold without being cartoonish, detailed without feeling precious. They occupy that sweet spot where high craft meets playful irreverence, which has been Moooi\u2019s signature move since Marcel Wanders and Casper Vissers founded the brand in 2001.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Each chair has its own persona. Some monsters look menacing, others oddly appealing. The artwork has an almost luchador-ish quality to it, making the chairs look like different wrestlers in their elaborate get-ups. The wrestler comparison fits well, given that every chair\u2019s expression stands out as attention-grabbing. Some monsters look like they\u2019ve won a battle, others look like they\u2019ve got battle scars. One of them even has a gauze bandage wrapped around its \u2018ear\u2019, it\u2019s rare to find yourself laughing and sympathizing with a chair, but you end up doing so.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The collection was on display at Superstudio Events during Milan Design Week 2026, part of Moooi\u2019s broader 25th anniversary showcase. If you\u2019re in Milan during the design week, Superstudio is worth the trek. The exhibition space gave these Monster Chairs the gallery treatment they deserve, lined up against black curtains with dramatic lighting that made the embroidered details pop. It\u2019s the kind of installation that reminds you why Milan remains the essential pilgrimage for anyone who takes design seriously.<\/p>\n
