Under the sign of elegance

Flexform sees the home office as a combination of style and design. As in the new Alma chair created by Antonio Citterio

Whether for living areas, dining rooms, outdoor settings or home offices, the productive approach of Flexform remains the same. It is a guarantee of timeless creations, getting beyond trends and fashions, giving rise to true style icons for every space in the home. “Every sofa is a constellation of different functions,” says the designer Antonio Citterio. “The shared feature of every Flexform product is to be easy to recognize, conceived for everyday use, and always easy to enjoy.” Citterio’s words constitute a statement of intent, applied to each and every collection. This is the foundation on which to build the entire ecosystem of the brand’s creations.

Chaises longues, chairs, ottomans and sofas establish a dialogue, generating constantly innovative and original solutions, ideal to reflect the personality of the individual, as well as the private and working requirements of the moment. This is the context in which Alma comes to life, a chair with sinuous, enveloping lines and balanced proportions that immediately suggest elegance, in two versions: fabric and leather.

Ideal for prestigious conference rooms or more traditional office spaces, in keeping with the aim of developing multifunctional pieces capable of adapting to different situations of use, Alma goes perfectly with all the dining tables in the Flexform collection, while keeping tabs on the increasingly widespread necessity of having a true “home office” in any dwelling.

Nimble and light thanks to the aluminium swivel base, the chair relies on die-cast aluminium for the support, the shell and the back, as well as the practical wheels that permit very easy movement. The model is available in a range of different variants, fixed or with a swivel mechanism, with or without armrests. Alma is therefore a product of its time. Today every place in the home is versatile, every room becomes increasingly multifunctional, where people can watch television, work with a computer, make phone calls, eat dinner, rest and welcome guests. This is the true luxury: to be able to transform any space to meet various needs, without ever having to sacrifice elegance.
