Inspiration: the precise, elegant movements of figure skating. The shape, an oxymoron, of materials and thicknesses. Flutz is the perfect union between a rigid, geometric structure and soft, inviting seating. The Flutz chair is now available in two new versions without armrests – one with a low backrest and the other with a high backrest. Two thin parallel aluminium sheets rise up, creating a rigid support that embraces the comfortable seat. Upholstered in leather or removable fabric, it ensures sturdy yet comfortable support, thanks to the shell wrapped in soft padding encased in a slipcover made of recycled PET wadding. Through the work carried out by Cassina LAB, with an eye to circularity, the various parts of the chair were designed to be disassembled and recycled at the end of its life cycle. This includes the padding (that can be separated from the slipcover thanks to an internal zipper) and the metal structure with matte finish. Comfortable and elegant, Flutz pairs perfectly with the Ordinal table, also by the Cyprian designer, rounding out his range of dining products.
I CONTEMPORANEI
Michael Anastassiades is a Cypriot designer, based in London. He launched his studio in 1994 to explore contemporary notions of culture and aesthetics through a combination of product, furniture and environmental design. Positioned between fine art and design, his work aims to provoke dialogue, participation and interaction. He creates objects that are minimal, utilitarian and almost mundane yet full of a vitality one might not expect.
