Elective affinities
An eloquent palette of materials.
There are many ways to appreciate a piece of furniture. From a distance, its form reveals the design concept. Up close, surfaces, textures, grain and weave come into play, along with the way light interacts with each material. The distance between seeing and touching may be minimal, but is sufficient to transform our perception of an object. The Flexform collection takes shape through this intimate perspective, where the choice of a finish becomes part of the story of a home. This palette of materials is an invitation to slow down and rediscover the beauty of pieces designed to gain character over time. Wood, cowhide, leather, fabric and marble – each has a distinct identity, yet engage harmoniously through intentional pairings to create a warm, sophisticated design aesthetic.
The lively weave of a textured fabric catches the light as it embraces inviting curves. Cowhide lends an intimate quality to sleek proportions. Black leather brings a more structured, architectural character to the dining chair, while marble introduces the enduring beauty of an ancient mineral landscape to tabletops and other surfaces.
It is through form that these materials find their perfect balance. Each material embodies a promise of its own, but it is design that gives it life, transforming it into a piece that becomes part of everyday living.
