Flex, the shape of exclusivity

A composition of wood and aluminium

At its most basic, Flex is a suspended sofa solution that consists of modular as well as fixed elements. The main components are the aluminium cast legs. On the upper level of the sofa, these connect with a solid wood profile that serves as an armrest and a support for the back cushions. On the lower portion, the legs are attached to a structural platform covered in wood. The wood of the platform cover, arms and backrest share the same finish.

The shape of exclusivity 

The aluminium legs, which give character and lightness to the entire structure, are characterised by a unique design. Robin Rizzini, chief designer & partner at Metrica: “Instead of choosing a standard cylindrical shape, we opted for an exclusive form that is crucial to the overall feel of the Flex sofa. Starting out as cylindric shape, the legs gradually change into rounded triangles that eventually shift into an oval shape to connect to the backrest.

An extra touch of luxury 

Flex’s teak nero version adds an extra touch of luxury thanks to the additional manual craftsmanship it requires. The teak wood is sanded, brushed and treated by hand using a special technique that supports the structure and creates an eye-catching alternation between shiny and matt black surfaces. As a result, the black hues radiate just the right amount of elegance, drama and power, perfectly balancing indulgence and sophistication.

Infinite possibilities

As its name implies, Flex offers multiple configuration options and infinite setting possibilities. The core concept consists of either a 2- or a 3-seater sofa or an armchair. Different modules – chaises, corners and asymmetrical elements – can then be added to adjust the composition of Flex depending on the layout and need. Wooden side and ‘bridge’ tables – which float between the modules – are also available to transform Flex into a complete outdoor furniture system.
