Story
Forerunner of the Family Sofas
Flexform presents Nonnamaria as the forerunner of the design current it began in the 1980s and calls the "Family Sofas". The sofa revisits the sofa style of its day in a contemporary vibe with updated proportions, with a reassuring, homey look that draws on collective memory but sheds the frills and decorative details that weighed the line down.
The armrest
Its characteristic armrest reinterprets the traditional scroll armrest in a lighter, more relaxed version, and the soft, generous silhouette comes with front self-locking casters that make it easy to move.
