The director's chair, refined

Flexform presents Paul as a relevant, elegant version of the classic director's chair. Its sleek metal structure, available in different finishes, and its compact proportions make the armchair, the page says, ready for action.

Softened silhouette

Padded seat and seat back cushions soften the shapely silhouette and, the page says, ensure superior comfort. The wood armrests carry a cowhide insert that adds textural contrast.
