about FLEXFORM
Flexform is a family affair. Now in its third generation, Flexform was founded in the Brianza furniture manufacturing district in Northern Italy. The unique global phenomenon of Italian furniture design originated right here in the 1960s.
A place where the history of many small artisan workshops that have fashioned wood, metal and upholstery since the early 1900s, intersects with that of the great masters of Italian design, trained at the School of Architecture in nearby Milan. Flexform’s roots are deeply embedded in this historical setting.
Our identity reflects our all-Italian values. Ours is an all-Italian success story. Our furniture is crafted in one country - Italy - from design concept to finished product. We have just one production plant, in Meda, where everything is manufactured and locally sourced.
“Dedication and determination have allowed us to stay true to our identity and we have built a reputation for ourselves in countries near and far. Interaction with different cultures has broadened our perspective and helped us cultivate an openness to new experiences. But our production philosophy has remained the same. Our products are prized because they are the embodiment of “Made in Italy” and because they are an almost magical distillation of elegance, comfort and inconspicuous luxury. We meet expectations. This is what we consistently give our clients, because it is in our DNA, effortlessly.”
“At Flexform, our Made in Italy philosophy also extends to our quest to employ the best artisans; their skill is evident in our products. Our sofas and other pieces of furniture require remarkable expertise, the touch of “knowing hands” that is essential to making a product of such premium manufacturing quality. The Brianza district is renowned in the world of furnishings because it is filled with specialized craftsmen whose expertise and skills are passed down from one generation to the next. The products they make are unique and unrivalled.”
