Freifrau, a German-based furniture company, has released its new chair that boasts comfort and elegance. Dubbed the NANA chair, this elevated furniture piece, designed by Hanne Willmann, took inspiration from the dream-like quality of clouds.
The upholstered chair consists of powder-coated tubular steel and wool. The designer spent a great deal of time experimenting with forms and materials to ensure the chair offers ultimate comfort. The curved form and texture speak to the curvilinear shape of clouds and immediately appears like a comfortable seat. The textured finish adds depth, while the muted color makes for a versatile piece of furniture. Designed for both living and dining spaces, the NANA chair can be custom ordered with or without armrests and offers a comfortable and cozy seating alternative.
