Description
Designed by Antonio Citterio for Flexform, Groundpiece has revolutionised the very concept of the sofa with its various innovations in response to a change in lifestyle: today on a sofa, we rest, watch TV, read and often work, or even dine. This gave rise to the brilliant idea of rethinking the concept of the armrest which, for the Groundpiece sofa, can be upholstered or consist of a metal shelf unit covered in saddle leather, practical for placing and storing objects on. New dimensions are available: the sofa is low and deep, designed to encourage more relaxed, informal sitting. Groundpiece represents the quintessence of comfort according to Flexform and is particularly attractive and welcoming thanks to its large goose-down cushions. Groundpiece allows great customisation of the upholstery, which can be made from goose down, in the 'premium' version, or Dacron. Contact us for more information.

FLEXFORM
Flexform's history is focused on family. Flexform, which is now run by the third generation of its founding family, was created in Brianza; a furniture-producing region in northern Italy. The unique "Made in Italy" movement was launched there in the 1960s. The region was home to a number of small craft workshops that worked with wood and metal and upholstered sofas from the beginning of the 20th century. And where the great masters of Italian design studied, at the School of Architecture in nearby Milan. Intuition led Flexform to collaborate with some of the greatest designers of the time.
