Soft rocking and stylish comfort in Freifrau’s latest additions

The wonderful feeling of being welcomed, safe and well cared for, while feeling the ease with which you can leave everyday life behind: With this aspiration in mind, the furniture manufacturer Freifrau presents a refreshing new product range that is fully dedicated to uncompromising seating comfort and a timeless, eclectic design aesthetic. Soft curves invite you to linger and treat yourself to a few moments of rest and relaxation outdoors.

The Leyasol collection features three family members that stand out for their natural shapes. But it’s not just their design that is inspiring: the soft seat cushions, which are set in a basket-like metal seat frame and hang down from above on ropes, invite you to linger. It is the charm of the rocking motion that may even remind you of carefree childhood days.

This is reason enough for Freifrau to revisit this idea in existing models and expand the current Leyasol Hollywood Swing concept. The collection was originally created by the renowned Hamburg design studio Hoffmann Kahleyss Design, which has now made the extension of the seating collection possible. Birgit Hoffmann and Christoph Kahleyss have now transformed three models into swing versions with the design and practical approach of being able to use them both indoors and outdoors.

These special places for personal retreat have a name, of course. The new Leyasol Sun Lounger Swing Seat is an airy chaise longue that allows your thoughts to wander as soon as you lie down. The ergonomic shape of the Récamière conveys a feeling of detached freedom, and not just visually.

The lightness is further emphasised by the delicate metal frame on which rests a cushion filled with high-quality artificial down. The weather-resistant and washable covers can be easily removed and reupholstered, and for indoor use, leather or fabrics from the Freifrau Portfolio can be chosen. Sophisticated details are also provided: The zippers are concealed and do not distract from the look or comfort.

With the same quality features and upholstery options, the two hanging sofas, Leyasol Lounge Couch Swing Seat and Leyasol Wingback Couch Swing Seat, are two new additions to the collection. While the former is already an exceptionally comfortable place for two with total legroom, the latter tops this cosy nest with its raised backrest.

The reinterpretation of the sofas, which have already established themselves as successful models by Freifrau, successfully bridges the gap to the outdoors, combined with an extravagant quality of stay that harmoniously unites comfort and movement. ‘There is nothing better than relaxing outdoors in a slightly swinging lounge chair,’ highlights Freifrau.

Another new addition to the Freifrau collection is the Marie Lounge Chair, the latest addition to the seating series of the same name. The design concept of the chair evokes the feeling of being welcomed with a warm embrace – this is the vision of Birgit Hoffmann and Christoph Kahleyss, who also designed this family of seating furniture.

Here, too, there are no half-measures taken when it comes to aesthetics and comfort, and yet the new armchair surprises with a technical detail that is completely hidden: a rocker-tilt mechanism that is easily operated using a lever on the side. In addition, a matching footstool is also available for the big picture.

Enthroned on an elegant, delicate swivel base with a central column and cross base, the seat shell with loose upholstery floats above the floor, supported by a filigree tubular steel bracket. The frame of the lounger and the ottoman can be selected in all Double-Brand-Colours, as can the upholstery fabrics, whereby individual textiles can also be used. The relaxed drape of the upholstery adds a soft touch and casual elegance to the design, which is hard to surpass in terms of presence and timelessness.

The new elements of the Freifrau collection make it unmistakably clear what is important to the North-Rhine-Westphalian manufacturer. This includes a combination of functionality and elegance, as well as a design language that adapts perfectly to any living environment – from classic to modern. With a variety of options to choose from, you can draw from the full range when it comes to fabrics, leather and metal. These materials are crafted with precision and passion, adding a new dimension to both the home and the patio in the garden.
