Flexform | Parker

Echoes of handmade objects of the past make Parker, designed by Antonio Citterio for Flexform, a precious and generous piece of furniture that spans past and present

Taking inspiration from tradition with an exquisitely contemporary sensibility, Antonio Citterio has come up with Parker for Flexform, a soft chair that is reminiscent of old wicker chairs. Versatile in terms of its configuration – two and three-seater sofas, footrests, an element with back and armrest for face-to-face compositions or standalone use – embodies a high level of craftsmanship

Parker by Flexform

Parker is in fact worked entirely by hand. From the frame in turned and finished solid wood to the fine weave that characterises the back and arms, made from twisted rush or woven leather cord in assorted colours: black, dark brown, tobacco, natural, grey and Bulgarian red. The cover, in gros grain available in different colours, is removable. Also in leather versions.
