Elegance in a shell

Flexform presents Guscio as a powerful encapsulation of elegance and quality. The enveloping lines and the construction are the features the page credits for the sofa's natural aptitude for warmth and cosiness in homes and in hospitality spaces such as lounge areas, corporate offices and boutiques.

Four hospitality and home settings

Flexform's project pages place Guscio sofas in reading rooms in Lecce, sitting rooms at Villa Passalacqua on Lake Como, a cocktail lounge in Taichung and a private villa in Sydney.
