The brief

Tell a ninety-year story in under a minute.

Vana has been making furniture since 1934. Instead of listing dates, this brand film lets one armchair carry the history.

The same man sits in the same chair through the decades: in the ruins of the Second World War, in a quiet, sunlit room of the years that followed, masked and alone in 2020, and in a sharp suit in 2024. The times change around him; the chair doesn't. The film ends on the empty chair and the line: Vana — quality and continuity.
