Vela Lounger and Umbrella

Andrea Zanocchi

Some pieces transcend their purpose and become true expressions of design. Vela, the new release from DonaFlor Mobília, designed by Italian designer Andrea Zanocchi, is one of those rare examples. Inspired by water sports sails, its dynamic form reflects the interaction with the wind and the natural movement of the environment—yet, its impact goes far beyond aesthetics: the piece impresses at first sight and captivates with its innovative proposal. It is a disruptive product that defies expectations and sparks enthusiasm in all who see it. It elevates design to the status of an experience and captivates through the inherent uniqueness of its design.
Aligning with the direction of the sun and wind, Vela projects shadows and redefines the relationship between design and functionality. Its impact is immediate—an object that does not merely occupy space, but transforms it completely.
