Sandra - the visionary settee that stands the test of time

Design Annie Hiéronimus

To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Cinna is re-editing the Sandra, a legendary settee designed in 1975 by Annie Hiéronimus. An iconic piece that stands the test of time with elegance.

Avant-garde design, yesterday and today

From its creation, Sandra challenged the codes of design. In an era dominated by rigid, geometric shapes, it imposed the fluidity of curves and a revolutionary sculptural seating. Its innovative foam perfectly moulds to the body, providing enveloping and lasting comfort. More than just a settee, Sandra embodies a bold vision of furniture, blending elegance, functionality, and timeless modernity. Fifty years later, its audacity and flexibility continue to inspire, making Sandra a design that remains visionary and resolutely contemporary.

Sandra collection

Sandra comes back, faithful to its original spirit, but enhanced with today's technical progress. More than a settee, it's a timeless icon that transforms your space into a true haven thanks to:

  • an absolute comfort: enveloping seating, perfect support thanks to a combination of foams of varying densities.
  • a timeless elegance: soft lines, precise quilting, and carefully stitched finishes.

Sandra was first and foremost a peony... an armchair designed like a cosy nest, where each curve and each quilting envelops the body like a piece of clothing.

Sustainable design and craftsmanship

Sandra is designed to last, thanks to a combination of foams of different densities that guarantee optimal comfort and durability over time. Every detail demonstrates unique craftsmanship: delicate quilting, precise single-needle stitching, and meticulous finishing. A pure aesthetic combined with artisanal precision demonstrates Cinna's timeless elegance.

Annie Hiéronimus, pioneer of modern comfort

Discreet yet essential, Annie Hiéronimus stands out as a unique figure in French design. The only woman in the Cinna design studio in the 1970s, she designed innovative upholstery, several of which have become classics: Sandra, of course, but also Plumy.
Trained in Applied Arts, she embraces an approach that is both artistic and functional: creating useful, comfortable, and beautiful furniture.
