The Maison extends Chemena Kamali’s language of softness into design through a limited re-edition with Poltronova.
Chloé has introduced a re-edition of the Tomato chair at Salone del Mobile 2026, produced in collaboration with Italian design company Poltronova under the creative direction of Chemena Kamali.
The chair was originally designed in 1970 by Christian Adam and is recognized for its rounded, organic silhouette. Chloé’s version is upholstered in naturally tanned leather, with production limited to made-to-order editions. The update places emphasis on material quality and construction while retaining the chair’s soft, sculptural profile.
The project situates Chloé within the growing presence of fashion houses at Salone del Mobile, where luxury brands have increasingly used the Milan design fair to present furniture, home objects, and spatial installations. For Chloé, the re-edition offers a design-led extension of the softer visual language Kamali has developed since taking the creative lead at the Maison.
Poltronova’s participation gives the project a direct link to Italian design history. The company is closely associated with radical design and has long worked with pieces that challenge conventional furniture forms. In this context, the Tomato chair’s return aligns with current interest in collectible design, archival re-editions, and furniture that carries both cultural and aesthetic value.
The collaboration also reflects a wider luxury strategy around limited-edition objects. By making the chair available on a made-to-order basis, Chloé is positioning the project closer to collectible design than conventional retail. The format supports scarcity, craft-led production, and a more specialized audience, while giving the Maison a presence in the design category without moving into a full home collection.
The re-edition also connects with Kamali’s broader creative direction at Chloé, where material softness, fluid silhouettes, and a more relaxed expression of femininity have shaped the house’s recent positioning. In furniture form, those ideas translate through proportion, texture, and the chair’s enveloping shape.
Chloé’s Tomato chair re-edition is ultimately a focused Salone project: a limited collaboration with an established design partner, rooted in a 1970s design object and reframed through the Maison’s current aesthetic direction.
