Story
Atlas, the Titan
Flexform notes that Atlante is Italian for Atlas, the mythical Titan who bears the world on his shoulders. It uses the name for an outdoor furnishing system that pairs thoughtful aesthetic experimentation with a wide range of personalization.
Cushions against the metal
According to the page, the generous size of the upholstered cushions offsets the austerity of the metal structure. Grosgrain piping outlines the soft, welcoming shapes, and the cast aluminium feet give a delicate, harmonious impression.
