The Nena armchair by Zanotta was created from a project that brings together ergonomic research, aesthetic sensitivity and a contemporary vision of everyday comfort. Lanzavecchia + Wai reinterpret the classic dining armchair, transforming it into an inviting object—feminine in its shapes, refined in its details and dynamic in its character. The minimalist frame in painted steel, available in orange, amaranth, espresso, graphite or black, creates an elegant contrast with the soft, generous volume of the seat and backrest, padded in polyurethane for superior comfort. The fully removable cover, available in fabric or leather, is finished with a concealed zipper hidden beneath a delicate ruffle that outlines the curvature of the backrest—an elegant tailoring detail that makes Nena instantly recognisable. Perfect around a dining table, in a reading corner, as a work armchair or in contract settings such as contemporary restaurants and lounges, Nena is designed to “inhabit everyday life” and to create ever-new interior stories.
