Story
A lighter storage format
Flexform describes the two Fly consoles as light and airy pieces designed for the living room. Their marble tops provide a place to display the cowhide Box baskets, which are available in several colours.
Shared family detail
The metal feet repeat the design used on Fly tables. Epoxy-coated structures and marble tops connect the consoles to the broader family, while the two documented heights distinguish their proportions.
