Story

Design as memory

Flexform introduces Lee, the armchair and the settee, with the idea of design as memory: conceptual simplicity and influences tied to childhood memories inspired the design. The page calls the paper rush cord an old-fashioned but completely natural material with excellent resistance to wear, revived here as a tribute to tradition, in an object made to last a lifetime.

Made by hand

The solid wood structure is entirely hand-crafted, as are the woven backrest and seat.
