Need an armchair that doesn't take up space when not in use? When not needed, Nena stops taking up room and transforms into a discreet wall presence. Thanks to the included support hook, you simply hang it to reduce its footprint to just 13.5 cm in thickness by 154 cm in height, immediately freeing up floor space—a solution designed for those who want the comfort of an armchair without sacrificing square footage.

Nena: The Armchair That Folds and Hangs

Nena stems from research into practicality and materials. The seat structure utilizes an aluminum tubular frame, paired with die-cast aluminum articulated joints that allow it to be folded closed. The seat and backrest are made of multi-layer wood panels, with padding in shaped polyurethane and polyester fiber. The fabric or leather upholstery is completely removable. A retractable snap-hook element on the backrest allows the armchair to be hung on the wall.

Where Nena Lives

When hung on the wall, it has a thickness of 13.5 cm; alternatively, it can be stored in a wardrobe. It works wherever an extra seat is needed even intermittently: in the living room, study, bedroom, or entryway. When hung, it remains visible as a design element.

Nena: The Return of a 1984 Project

Richard Sapper designed Nena in 1984 for B&B Italia, which put it back into production in 2026 and presented it at the Salone del Mobile among the collection's new products. The reissue preserves the project's theme—an armchair combining lightness, practicality, and flexibility thanks to the aluminum tubular frame and articulated joints that make it foldable.

Richard Sapper

Richard Sapper was born in 1932. He studied philosophy, anatomy, and engineering, and graduated in business administration from the University of Munich. He began his career in the styling department of Mercedes-Benz in Stuttgart, then moved to Milan, where he worked for Gio Ponti and La Rinascente. With Marco Zanuso, he designed the Algol television (1964) and the TS 502 radio (1965) for Brionvega. Among his best-known projects are the Grillo telephone for Siemens (1965), the Tizio lamp for Artemide (1972), the 9090 coffee maker for Alessi (1978), and ThinkPad laptops for IBM and Lenovo (from 1992). He received the Compasso d'Oro career award in 2014 and passed away in Milan on December 31, 2015.
