Story

An enveloping shell

Flexform's page for the Guscio armchair speaks of a powerful encapsulation of elegance and inviting warmth. It points to the enveloping lines and the impeccable construction as the features behind the armchair's natural aptitude for furnishing both homes and hospitality spaces.

Soft version and base

For extra comfort the page offers a Guscio Soft version with more padding in the seat back. It adds that the refined aesthetic carries through to the base: solid wood in several colours, or metal in several finishes.
