An expression of formal elegance
Flexform calls the Happy chaise longue an expression of great formal elegance. The back is a metal frame with an entirely hand-woven open-weave in cowhide cord, set against the soft goose-down cushions and the understated metal structure.
In projects
Flexform's project texts place a Happy chaise longue in the Aman New York hotel, on the superyacht Dream, in a private house designed by BIG facing a spa entrance, and, upholstered in dark brown leather, at the La Marmotta mountain refuge in Sauze d'Oulx.
