The smaller frame of Nana petite 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 pouf is available in 4 sizes and a wide range of materials and colours.
Petitie: 60 x 60 x 40cm high
Small: 74 x 74 x 45cm high
Medium: 111 x 74 x 45cm high
Large: 147 x 74 x 45cm high
MONZA MELANGE is a high-quality, heavy fabric with a soft, woolly feel and a coarse surface structure. The expressive fabric is particularly characterised by their irregular and effective boucle yarn. Monza Uni and Monza Melange are voluminous, flexible and made from a combination of largely natural materials, with wool defining the character and providing the authentic look of the boucle fabrics. The contrasting but muted colours of warp and weft play a fascinating game that gives Monza and Monza Melange this warm, inviting and rich design. Monza Uni and Melange are perfectly colour-coordinated, so they can be wonderfully combined and offer great creative scope. The specifications also allow unrestricted use in the contract sector.

What started back in 2012 as a one-man show has now, in little more than a decade, become an established European design brand: Freifrau Manufaktur. Operating from Lemgo, a small town in Westphalia, Germany, this exclusive manufacturer of seating furniture is characterised by the highest possible levels of comfort, lovingly-rendered details, and exacting quality and sustainability standards.
When, in 2012, trained carpenter Hansjörg Helweg decided to resign from his job, he had a clear vision in his mind – and set up Freifrau, a brand for seating furniture which, right from its beginnings, has always been different.
Freifrau furniture is elegant, stylish, and, true to the meaning of its name in German (literally ‘free woman’), often decidedly feminine. That’s why the various collections are called by female forenames – that, and because the names give them a personality.
A favourite here at top3 by design, The Leya series, introduced as a single model and then developed into a teeming collection of chairs, armchairs, benches, barstools, rocking and swinging chairs, has proven to be a real milestone on Freifrau’s journey. Supreme quality and comfort and unmistakable style.
Designed seating, and something personal, too, that´s what Freifrau stands for: “We have the great fortune of working with an upholsterer in the region,” says Hansjörg Helweg, “where we can easily carry out quality checks on fabrics.” This enables Freifrau to retain its exceptionally high standards for leather and textile coverings while also allowing customers to personalise their pieces with their own choice of fabric. Freifrau products only ever ‘wear’ the finest apparel!
Birgit Hoffmann, Creative Director at Freifrau from day one, working with Christoph Kahleyss, with whom she runs a design bureau, is the woman behind the Amelie and Leya lines, as well as several other Freifrau products. Another part of her role is to manage cooperation with new designers as they help the brand to expand its product range in an organic, authentic way.
Freifrau's stable of designers includes world-renowned names such as Sebastian Herkner (Ona and Theia), and Hanne Willmann (Nana)
