Story
Light, airy and floating
Flexform's page describes the Wing sofa as light and airy, built from geometric shapes that stay soft and free of sharp corners. The metal base is set back almost out of sight, which it says gives the impression of floating.
The backrest
The seat back is a soft, low and deep rectangular cushion carried on slender cast-aluminium supports.
