STANDING THE TEST OF TIME

As people in the design world know, fads and trends come and go with the passage of time. But not so for the Cestone sofa. From Italy furniture brand Flexform, the Cestone sofa is backed by a timeless design concept that positions it well beyond the fate of fading fashions.

Like many other Flexform furniture, it plays a key role in redefining not only the language of contemporary living, but the boundaries of home furnishings. The idea behind this is for the Cestone sofa to become the star player of the living room. It plays up the importance of the back and sides of the sofa, parts that don’t always contain valueenhancing features. Now, the back and sides of the Cestone sofa are composed of a metal structure upholstered with meticulous woven strips of cowhide.

Coming in two different widths, two options of strips are available for the irregular woven pattern. The cowhide strips can either be closely woven, forming a compact surface; or more loosely woven, allowing the underlying upholstery fabric to show through. In both versions, the resulting “chequerboard” pattern boasts a strong visual impact and juxtaposes with the soft, neatly proportioned upholstered parts. Colour-wise, the sofa comes in an arresting array of 13 different colours, four of them in suede.

設計一向講求潮流，但潮流趨勢瞬息萬變，有時確實令人

無所適從。意大利家具品牌Flexform堅拒隨波逐流，不刻意跟隨潮流，專注於經得起時間考驗的設計，這款Cestone梳化系

列，便是例子之一。

貫徹Flexform一向的品牌理念，Cestone系列不僅為現代

摩登生活重新定義，亦為傢具開拓了更多可能性。系列的背面和側面均採用精緻的母牛皮織面配搭金屬細節，輕鬆成為客廳的設計焦點。一般而言，梳化的背面和側面經常被視為襯托部分，

不會加入過多設計元素，但Cestone系列考慮到梳化每一個細

節，從不同角度欣賞都不乏視覺趣味。

梳化備有兩種不同寬度及兩款織面圖案可供選擇。織面上的母牛皮帶更可按不同需要收緊或放鬆，讓織面密不透風或讓織面露出部分梳化襯墊，以配合不同風格需要。無論何種款式，織面上的棋盤樣式與柔和軟墊都能構成悅目的視覺對比，讓系

列更添質感。用色上，Cestone系列備有13款顏色任君選擇，其

中4款更以麂皮製成，別具特色。flexform.it
