Story
The Echoes family of seating
Flexform introduces Echoes as a family of seating whose design project grew out of different ideas and inspirations: the traditional Scandinavian school meeting Mediterranean style, and rustic and urban styles crossing paths. The page calls it the design of memory, living in the present and projected into the future.
Woven by hand
The paper cord seat and backrest are woven in a process that Flexform describes as seemingly simple but quite complex, still performed entirely by hand. The Echoes S.H. armchair offers a second reading of the same structure, with cowhide and ergonomic contours for the seat and backrest.
