Susanna
Susanna by Vico Magistretti is a delicate interpretation of modern comfort — a lounge chair that blends the relaxed elegance of Anglo-Saxon design with Italian precision and grace. Originally conceived as a personal tribute to his daughter, Magistretti transforms familiar archetypes into a timeless piece that radiates softness and simplicity.
Modest in scale and subtle in presence, Susanna is upholstered in white, removable canvas — ideal for light-filled interiors and compact spaces. Its slender frame and inviting cushions create a perfect reading nook, offering warmth and serenity without excess.
From living rooms to bedrooms, Susanna adapts seamlessly, proving that true comfort often lies in thoughtful restraint and refined details.
