Arflex

It was 1947 when Carlo Barassi, Renato Teani, Pio Reggiani and Aldo Bai founded Ar-flex (flexible furniture), which later became Arflex Design, a company that made the study of forms and technologies the identifying feature of its work, both nationally and internationally . The company investigates with the young architect Marco Zanuso the use of elastic tapes and foam rubber in the furniture sector, making research and experimentation the keys to its production. Among the many awards are the prestigious “Wallpaper Design Award” in 2010 for the Hillside modular furniture series designed by Claesson Koivisto Rune and the “EDIDA” award for Carlo Colombo’s outdoor Cloud Collection in 2011, not to mention bestsellers such as some products from the Arflex sofa collection, such as the Strips sofa designed by Cini Boeri, or the Arflex Boborelax armchair.
