Andrea Branzi wife: Meet Nicoletta Morozzi
Nicoletta Morozzi, a current designer, was married to Andrea Branzi. The Superonda sofa (1966), the Mies chair (1968), and the modular Safari sofa (1968) are just a few of Andrea Branzi’s most well-known furniture creations. These items were made with the goal of challenging preconceived beliefs about how we interact and use furniture.
