Flutz

Aesthetic simplicity embraces surprising comfort

A sharp contrast

Aesthetic simplicity embraces surprising comfort
Encapsulated in the minimalist lines of Flutz, designed by Michael Anastassiades, is a fascinating material and structural oxymoron: the geometric rigour of the chair, accentuated by its aluminium sides, frames a soft seat characterised by an inviting shape. Comfortable and elegant, Flutz sits perfectly with the Ordinal table, also designed by Michael Anastassiades, to fully complete his line of products for the dining area.

An allusion to figure skating

Two thin parallel aluminium sheets rise up to shape the armrests of Flutz, producing a rigid support that welcomes a comfortable seat. Thanks to an invisible plate that joins the crosspieces and attaches the seat to the structure, the seat seems to float above the base. Essential and clearly defined, this construction calls to mind the poetic grace of figure skating, a sport in which precision is also paired with sophistication.
The metal base is available in three matt finishes of aluminium: natural anodised or powder-coated anthracite or black. The welcoming seat, upholstered in leather or fabric, ensures sturdy yet cosy support thanks to its shell that is wrapped in soft padding and encased in a slipcover in recycled PET wadding.

Disassemblable and recyclable

Thanks to the work carried out by Cassina LAB, with an eye to circularity the chair’s elements can be disassembled at the end of its life cycle, facilitating the recycling of its components. This includes the metal structure, the removable upholstery and the padding that can be detached from the shell thanks to an internal zip.
