The Nena side chair brings the comfort of a lounge chair in a form suited to modern workspaces. Its steel frame supports an upholstered seat and backrest with soft lines and tailored textiles. An airy gap between seat and back creates a light, sculptural look, while a removable cover—available in fabric or leather—adds versatility.

A Family of Comfort

Nena is not just a single chair but a family — lounge, side chair, and stool — each variation carrying the same design DNA. Adaptable and versatile, the collection offers comfort across a variety of ancillary spaces, from café and dining, to lounge and more.

Designers of Empathy

Francesca Lanzavecchia and Hunn Wai founded Lanzavecchia + Wai to explore design as both gesture and function. For Zanotta, the duo created the Nena family — side chair, lounge, and stool — inspired by the gesture of a hug. This project reflects their philosophy: design as an embrace, balancing softness with tailored craftsmanship. Nena is not only a seat but a story of how Lanzavecchia + Wai translate human gestures into timeless Italian design.
