The beauty of versatilit­y is elegantly captured in today’s interior—a statement proven by the new collection of Flexform

- Brand Story By Margarita Preysler

After two years of being stuck at home, there is nothing more refreshing than the idea of escapism. Like yachting, which has long been a way to satiate one’s desire to let go and explore, especially with a mix of grandeur, comfort and adventure in place. Or spending time at the beach, which has always exuded a cast of profound serenity. As such, more and more people have invested in the developmen­t of seaside resorts, taking every possible opportunit­y they feared they took for granted when lockdowns were in place. And for these people who yearn for the great outdoors, Flexform makes living with their newest outdoor collection done in collaborat­ion with the Italian architect, Antonio Citterio.

Flexform’s newest collection—which resonates with the brand’s priority on comfort, design and quality—shows a mindful approach to offer consumers what they fancy and wish to have in their respective spaces, whether on land or at sea. Elegance is ever present in Flexform’s brand and that is exactly what you will find in their outdoor furnishing.

The Grandmare sofa is nothing short of luxurious, as well as reliable. An oasis is formed through the warm and cosy sofa and it is built with impeccably tough materials. The materials used for the sofa frames were chosen with the ever-changing seasons and unpredicta­ble weather in mind, without at all sacrificin­g its beauty. The cushions make use of fabric with water-repellent technology that allows air to circulate freely. The padding of the cushions dries quickly, preventing mould and an overall degradatio­n of the product, which is only fitting for a piece that is meant to be enjoyed outside. Flexform’s craftsmans­hip is one you can’t go wrong with. Being assured of both quality and timeless aesthetic, it’s simply a bespoke piece that will only appreciate over time.

The Tessa, a wooden chair with intricate detailing, is a piece of furniture that was made for the outdoors. Using polypropyl­ene fibre, a material resistant to contact with water, including seawater and chlorine, it is just

the reliable chair you need for unbothered swimming and lounging, or vice versa. In addition, the furniture is recyclable because of the polypropyl­ene fibre, which is undeniably sustainabi­lity at its finest. The brand also offers special waterproof covers to maintain and prolong the original beauty of the furniture. As for the wooden parts in the collection, all are made with high grade Iroko wood that is highly unsuscepti­ble to changes in temperatur­e and humidity. With the wood being exceptiona­lly resistant to nuisances such as the presence of insects, lounging on the Tessa grows more ideal. Aside from being exceedingl­y durable, tough and dense, it’s also irresistib­ly elegant. Flexform prides itself of its timeless design, and the collection is a testament to it.

With dining and coffee tabletops made from Beola Argentata, Pietra del Cardoso, Lava stone and Porphyry, all of which are sourced from Italy, it cannot be denied that so much thought was put into the creation of every piece in this collection. The sleek and effortless­ly stylish stones are unyielding to everyday hassles such as wear, freezing and other atmospheri­c agents. These materials are captivatin­g, elegant and their quality is incomparab­le, being of the highest calibre.

In lifestyles that involve a lot of elements, reliable outdoor furniture is worth the investment. The outdoor collection will leave you wondering if it is really meant to be an exterior furniture, because it is amazingly adjacent to what you would see in an interior set-up, with its intricate patterns in place and softness unmatched. With the allure of an indoor comfort, the outdoor collection goes beyond expectatio­ns. The versatilit­y of Flexform’s outdoor collection will leave you satisfied and comfortabl­e—a goal the brand never fails to carry out.
