Wittmann Paradise Bird Outdoor Armchair
PARADISE BIRD OUTDOOR ARMCHAIR
PARADISE BIRD OUTDOOR ARMCHAIR
Design By Luca Nichetto (2023)
The bird of paradise has taken wing and soared into the wild, leaving its handsome metal cage inside and instead cloaking itself in an all-weather weave.
With unerring precision, countless linear meters of durable, slender composite strips are woven to form a solid yet airy body, whose pleasant silky feel combines beautifully with the familiar aesthetic created by the hand of Luca Nichetto.
With their organic curves, the members of the PARADISE BIRD Outdoor family, which comprises a sofa, an armchair as well as pouf and table, are seemingly predestined for use outside, adding an effortlessly casual note to al fresco settings while playfully loosening the strictly geometric lines favoured by conventional garden architecture.
The chair is available both without and with a swivel function, which introduces an extra element of relaxation for the person sitting in it as they casually tick to the left and right.

LUCA NICHETTO
Luca Nichetto's designs tell stories. They have sensual depth and playful lightness at the same time.
The designer’s ability to pull off this balancing act is written into his DNA: Nichetto grew up in Venice and today lives in Stockholm.
Both these worlds, with all their cultural facets and contrasts, are imprinted on his creative output.
Born on the island of Murano, he studied at the Art Institute of Venice and the University Institute of Architecture of Venice, and launched his career with his first commissions from the famous Salviati glass blowing factory.
He set up a design office in Venice in 2006, and opened his Stockholm studio in 2011. Nichetto designs glassware and light fittings, furniture and textiles for Cassina, De Padova, Foscarini, Svenskt Tenn and many other manufacturers.
He also creates window displays for French luxury goods brand Hermès. His work has won many awards and is exhibited all over the world.
„The first company my former professor Paolo Piva named during my studies of Industrial Design in Venice was Wittmann. That almost 20 years later this very company was interested in working with me was an honor.“

DETAIL
The high-quality cold foam structure is reliably protected by a waterproof, UV-resistant outdoor textile. The particularly easy-care cover and the processed threads and zip fasteners withstand the highest loads and do not fade. The specially collected outdoor fabrics with a pleasant feel can also be used indoors and perfectly dress upholstered furniture that is exposed to high stress or strong light.
