ND-20-CU Chill was designed by Nanna Ditzel. The beautiful lounge chair with a footstool – Chill, was designed in late summer 1961. It was the first piece of furniture Nanna Ditzel designed after her husband Jørgen Ditzen's death in April 1961. The armchair is made of Indonesian sustainable rattan. The chair is made in the colour nature, which is original and suitable for every occasion. The seat and back are braided on a frame of rattan by skilled wicker workers. The Chill rattanchair is a low armrest chair without armrests. This chair fits into a home with plenty of space. The Chill lounge chair is well placed by at the fireplace or in the conservatory. The chair is strong, comfortable and suitable for use privately. The Chill chair was originally named Firechair, because of its sculptural installation that in a nearly liquid way integrates the furniture with the body and with the surroundings. It was originally used in collaboration with Robert W.. The pioneer of rattan production in Denmark and characterized by exceptional craftsmanship, as well as innovative ideas and use of materials. The lounge chair is designed for indoor use, but Nanna Ditzel herself used it on the terrace of her summer house. The furniture combines an organic language with modern minimalistic features, that appeals to indulgence whether indoors or outdoors. Chill is a design that was considered quite unconventional at the time but fits perfectly in a modern home today.

This furniture is designed by Nanna Ditzel (1923-2005) who was an internationally recognized Danish designer. Together with her husband, Jørgen Ditzel (1921-1961), she established a design studio in 1946. In 1950, the couple began working with wicker in the renowned workshop founded by the famous wicker maker Robert W.
Ditzel's experimental approach to materials resulted in several innovative pieces of furniture made from rattan. This cooperation was the beginning of a renewed status for wicker furniture in interior design. Read more about Nanna and Jørgen Ditzel here.
This furniture is handcrafted in rattan, which is one of the most sustainable materials available for furniture manufacturing. Rattan is often confused with bamboo, but unlike hollow bamboo, rattan is a solid material. This makes rattan furniture very durable, and able to last for generations.
When steamed for 10-15 minutes, rattan can be formed by hand using old traditional manufacturing techniques and a few simple tools. Rattan comes in 600 different variants and at Sika-Design we only use the two best qualities called Tohiti and Manau. Read more about rattan here.
MAINTENANCE Rattan requires no maintenance but can be wiped with a lightly dampened cloth if needed.
