Meriggio Outdoor Sofa

Overview

Flexform dates Meriggio, a stand-alone outdoor sofa designed by Antonio Citterio, to 2023. The page describes a bold personality that originates in the inherent beauty of wood and its artisan craftsmanship, with a deliciously retro appeal.

Construction

The solid iroko structure is turned and finished by hand and has a steel support frame. The base has a characteristic sled design and rests on thermoplastic spacers. Seat cushions rest on water-repellent elastic webbing. The seat cushion is polyester fibre with a variable-density polyurethane foam insert, the backrest cushions are polyester fibre, and the upholstery fabric is removable and finished with grosgrain piping.

Reviving furniture traditions

Flexform says that with Meriggio, Antonio Citterio and the company continue their work of revitalizing furniture traditions. The page credits the sofa's bold personality to the inherent beauty of wood and its artisan craftsmanship, and notes that the solid wood structure is smoothed, turned and finished by hand.

Sled base and webbing

The base features a characteristic sled design and rests on thermoplastic spacers that keep the wood from direct contact with moisture on outdoor surfaces. Seat cushions sit on elastic webbing in a variety of shades and, like the backrest cushions, are generously padded.
