Flutz armchair with external structure (Category - Fabric | F)

A striking contrast

An armchair designed by Michael Anastassiades as an oxymoron, with an austere metal structure that embraces a comfortable, inviting seat. Inspiration: the elegant, flawless movements of figure skating.

Inspiration: the precise, flawless, elegant movements of figure skating. Form: an oxymoron of materials and thicknesses. Flutz is the perfect fusion of a rigid, geometric structure and soft, inviting seating. In this, the second project by Michael Anastassiades for Cassina, the armrests of the chair are made up of two thin parallel aluminium sheets, connected by crosspieces upon which sits an invisible plate that serves to stabilize the base and to support the seat which, thus, appears to be suspended. Upholstered in removable leather or fabric, the chair ensures sturdy yet comfortable support, thanks to the shell wrapped in soft padding and encased in recycled PET batting. Based on the work carried out by Cassina LAB, with an eye to circularity, the various parts were designed to be disassembled and recycled at the end of the chair’s life cycle. This includes the upholstery, which can be separated from the encased padding thanks to an internal zipper, and the metal structure with matte finish, available in three dramatic colours: aluminium with powder-coat finish in anthracite or black, or natural painted.
Comfortable and elegant, Flutz pairs perfectly with the Ordinal table, also by the Cyprian designer, rounding out his line of dining products.

Comfortable and elegant, Flutz pairs with the Ordinal dining table, also by the Cyprian designer, for a complete minimalist line of furnishings. In addition, thanks to the work carried out by Cassina LAB, all of the pieces of the chair can be disassembled at the end of its life cycle.
