A family of armchairs and chairs

Flexform's page calls Hera a family of armchairs and chairs that brilliantly combines ergonomics and elegance. It says the family was designed for domestic and hospitality settings, naming lounges, waiting rooms and restaurants.

Shell and legs

A shell made of a special polymer gives the construction its graceful profile and, the page says, premium comfort. Two versions are offered: tapered cast-aluminium legs in a range of finishes, or solid wood in a choice of shades.
