Moooi brings serenity and imagination to a busy life
We all have that one moment in time and space where your mind always wanders back to. That quiet place, where you feel peaceful. Wouldn’t you want to make that moment tangible? A physical place that pulls your mind in that tranquil state by just being there? Hana invites you to enter your own peaceful place. To breathe and relax in your own little corner of the world. Its design is made of soft, round curves and celebrates the beauty of stepping out the hustle and bustle of life. Hana Armchairs are designed by Italian designer Simone Bonanni (1989) and available worldwide from 12 September.
Hana means ‘blooming’ in Japanese, which perfectly fits the design as it unfolds like a flower in bloom. Make sure to discover the Hana during the official and global launch, which takes place from London during London Design Festival. The Hana plus other new design will be on view amidst a lavish flower installation.
“The Hana Armchairs are activators of your calm sensations. The design makes you feel like comfort has come to life while surrounding you with serenity and luxury”
Simone Bonanni

The design is available in a normal version and one with a wingback (top). You can also choose for a swivel, which means you can turn the Hana around.

COMPLETE PRESS RELEASE
The Hana Armchairs by Simone Bonanni
The Hana Armchairs by Simone Bonanni are a celebration of soft and round curves. Unfolding like a flower in bloom, Hana invites you to lay back, relax and let go in your own little corner in the world. With this new design, Moooi offers you a comfortable resolution for your busy routine.
The Hana is more than a seating object. It is sculptured around the human body and its need to be pampered and embraced for long stretches of time. The generous and subtle curves allow for hours of lounging to daydream, read a book and let your imagination fly. Where will you go nestled in the Hana?

Pooof
Pooof is your perfect companion at home and for every (Moooi) seater. Timeless, versatile, solid and soft. At first sight, the sturdiness of the firmly grounded Pooof would not let you imagine how flexible it really is.
Its versatility comes with the aesthetics and tactility of the different removable fabrics, leathers and covers you can choose for its upholstery. The easy-going design and height make Pooof the perfect comrade for almost every sofa and seater in the Moooi collection. Pooof is designed by Moooi Works.
