What started out as a solo show in 2011 has now, in just over a decade, become an established European design brand: Freifrau Manufaktur. Based in a small town in Westphalia, Germany, this exclusive seating manufacturer is characterized by the highest possible level of comfort, lovingly crafted details and strict standards of quality and sustainability.

World-renowned milliner Maryam Keyhani and Freifrau have joined forces to pull something out of a hat that will surprise people – in the truest sense of the word. Their journey has been characterized by mutual inspiration, inventing new categories, giving free rein to the imagination and combining it with the mastery of craftsmanship.

The result? A hat or a cushion, a pouf or a hat. An invitation to play!

"Things serve generations if you see them not as objects, but as characters and companions. For me, all the objects I create and live with are friends, not just things." — Maryam Keyhani
