Flutz

Inspiration: the precise, elegant movements of figure skating. Form, an oxymoron of materials and thicknesses. Flutz is the perfect union between a rigid, geometric structure and a soft, inviting seat. The second project by Michael Anastassiades for Cassina, Flutz is a chair in two versions, with or without armrests. The armrests are composed of two thin parallel aluminium sheets joined by crosspieces, resting upon them is an invisible plate engineered to stabilize the base and support the seat which, thus, appears to be suspended. The chair without armrests, instead, is available in two versions, one with a low backrest and the other with a high backrest. Upholstered in leather or fabric, the chair 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 a 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.
