A family company from Brianza

Flexform's story began in 1959 in Brianza, the area between Milan, Como and Lecco that became Italy's most important furniture-making district. It became a joint-stock company in 1967 and, in the 1960s, worked with Joe Colombo, Cini Boeri and Rodolfo Bonetto. Today it is led by the third generation of its founding family.

Flexform has one production site, in Meda. Its cabinetmakers, upholsterers, foundries and finishing workshops are concentrated within a few kilometres, which Flexform says makes it easier to oversee quality.

Antonio Citterio, Groundpiece and Quincy

Flexform's collaboration with Antonio Citterio, who was born in Meda in 1950 and opened his studio in 1972, began in the 1970s and is the longest-standing creative partnership in the company's history.

• Groundpiece (2001): a low, deep sectional sofa with goose-down cushions. Its armrest can be padded and upholstered, or a cowhide-clad metal console with shelves for books and objects.
• Quincy (2026): a curved seating system with a one-piece shell that holds down-filled seat cushions, including a chaise longue element.
• Moka: designed in 1939 by Mario Asnago and Claudio Vender and brought back into production by Flexform in 1985.
