freistil opens new spaces – with two new furniture designs as door openers.

Nagold, 09 Month 2025. This year’s DesignWeek, from September 25 to October 2, 2025, marks the beginning of a new era for freistil. The brand has evolved – not abruptly, but with a clear plan: evolution instead of revolution. A new sense of individuality is emerging, expressed more subtly and with greater sensitivity. Carefully placed details shape the visual language and provide more intuitive access to a new aesthetic that inspires with confident style. The products themselves are moving further into the spotlight, with two new highlights “Made im Schwarzwald” taking center stage this year: above all, the lounge furniture freistil121 stands symbolically for the brand’s realignment without compromising its own character. As the perfect complement, the armchair freistil148 makes its debut – a true all-rounder in every sense.

freistil121 – Effortless character

The new freistil121 is THE lounge piece for leaning back and relaxing: low-slung, with a casual aura and two generous seat depths that invite you to leave everyday life behind. The backrest is designed so that it offers comfort even without additional cushions – though, of course, these can be added if desired. Its cubic core character is lightened by gently flowing seam lines, giving the freistil121 a sense of ease. The underlined seam not only accentuates the outer contour but also demonstrates the craftsmanship that goes into this sofa. A particularly striking detail is the indentation between the back and the armrest. With its unobtrusive design language and high level of seating comfort, the freistil121 becomes a true companion that looks relaxed in any setting.

• Generous proportions and soft upholstery for relaxing and unwinding
• Relaxation on your own terms: choose between two seat depths
• Striking side view and finely accentuated contours
• Made in the Black Forest

freistil148 – 360° armchair competence

Perfectly matched to the freistil121, the new freistil148 armchair is also making its debut: a feel-good chair that combines flexibility and comfort in a pared-down, linear design. Thanks to its rocking and swivel functions, it literally becomes the all-rounder for any living situation. Available without side panel or with metal side panel, it offers individual design options and comes in all fabrics and leathers from the freistil collection. Whether used as a reading chair, a stand-alone piece in the bedroom, or as a complement to the sofa – the freistil148 is versatile in every way. Its high or low backrest provides comfort for both shorter and taller individuals and is perfectly complemented by the matching footstool.

• Decide how you want to sit: with 360° rotation and a relaxing rocking function
• Flexible design: metal side panels or without
• Find your posture: high or low back—just as you like
• Want to put your feet up? Get the matching footstool
• Made in the Black Forest
