Story
Returning to Max
The page says that, forty years after launching the Max sofa, Antonio Citterio returns to one of his best-loved and most emblematic Flexform designs. Some of its distinctive traits stay untouched while a more contemporary eye expands its possibilities of use, and the new model takes the name Supermax.
From waiting rooms to the living room
The earlier Max is listed for waiting rooms, executive offices and lounges; Supermax takes on a living room role, with a deep, low seat.
