The Banah Dormeuse, designed by Luca Nichetto for Arflex in 2018, is a contemporary and sophisticated piece that captures the essence of relaxed, natural form while maintaining architectural rigor. The name "Banah" is a nod to the banana tree, inspiring the piece's organic yet structured silhouette. The design is characterized by its wide, enveloping curve and generous proportions, offering a cocoon-like space for comfort. The deep, continuous seat and low back gently follow the body's natural resting position. The overall shape subtly references the wide, elegant leaves of the banana plant, creating a sense of natural grace. The substantial upholstered body rests on a minimal, but strong, wooden base—often visible in a rich finish like Canaletto Walnut or Wengé—which elevates the piece and grounds its organic form with a touch of architectural precision. Crafted with high-quality padding, including differentiated-density polyurethane foam and a protective lining, the Dormeuse ensures superior comfort and durability, making it an ideal choice for dedicated lounging. The Banah Dormeuse is an exquisite expression of Nichetto's design sensibility, blending organic inspiration with impeccable Italian craftsmanship to create a piece that is both visually soft and structurally refined.
