Freifrau | Nana Love Seat Petite + Rotating Frame | Monza Melange 99

Released in Milan 2023 her smaller frame is perfect for a bedroom corner or 2 occasional chairs by the sofa.

Design lines which are clear without being hard: Nana is the perfect combination of unparalleled softness with a straightforward, unfussy aes­thetic. This chair is best understood as a homage to the art of upholstery – and one which, in spite of its voluminous look, is characterised by simple elegance.

Nana is designer Hanne Willmann’s first design for Freifrau, and she found inspiration by concentrating on softness and thick­ness. As such, it’s no surprise that the finished design is reminiscent of tufts of cloud. All in all, Nana was created to offer maximum simplicity and true design perfection with the highest possible level of comfort.

'Taking the Nana Chair and developing new pieces from it was by no means a simple matter of just rescaling design elements up to sofa and armchair size,' says Hanne Willmann. 'So to make sure that both retained the highest possible levels of comfort, we adapted each part of the Nana design to the new shape.' Regardless of the changes, however, Willmann focussed on retaining key details and, above all, on keeping the straight, simple serenity of the overall design.

The Nana Love Seat lounge chair is available in a wide range of materials and colours.
