Flexform | Supermax

An icon of the Flexform collections designed by Antonio Citterio returns in a new version that dialogues with the contemporary

Exactly forty years on from the launch of the Max sofa, Antonio Citterio has reworked an iconic product by Flexform, staying as faithful as possible to the original with its strongly rationalist feel, adapting it for the present day and at the same time extending its possible uses. The result is Supermax: the proportions have been enlarged, the tubular metal structure lowered to favour a more relaxed sitting position while the characteristic kidney-bean shaped seat cushion has been completely redesigned in terms of dimensions and padding for improved comfort.

The distinctive upholstered backrest with its cylindrical shape takes on an even more original appearance in the version with two-tone cover. While Max was intended mainly for waiting rooms, lounges and office settings, Supermax has been designed for a more transversal use and can be smoothly introduced into both hospitality and residential contexts.
