The "Trinidad" chair, designed by Nanna Ditzel for Fredericia Furniture in 1993, became one of the most emblematic models of the Danish firm and marked a milestone in its history, placing Ditzel as the second great designer linked to the house after Børge Mogensen. Its characteristic perforated backrest combines visual lightness and ergonomics, reflecting the author's idea that the aesthetics of a chair should dialogue with the person who uses it.
