About the Item

Michael Anastassiades Flutz Armchair For Cassina A chair designed by Michael Anastassiades as an oxymoron, with an austere metal structure that embraces a comfortable, inviting seat. Inspiration: the elegant, flawless movements of figure skating. The version of the chair without armrests is available in two models, with backrest in two different heights. Comfortable and elegant, Flutz pairs with the Ordinal dining table, also by the Cyprian designer, for a complete minimalist line of furnishings. In addition, thanks to the work carried out by Cassina LAB, all of the pieces of the chair can be disassembled at the end of its life cycle. STRUCTURE In painted aluminium. PADDING Polyurethane encased in a slipcover made of recycled PET wadding. BACKREST In two different heights. Inspiration: the precise, elegant movements of figure skating. The shape, an oxymoron, of materials and thicknesses. Flutz is the perfect union between a rigid, geometric structure and soft, inviting seating. The Flutz chair is now available in two new versions without armrests – one with a low backrest and the other with a high backrest. Two thin parallel aluminium sheets rise up, creating a rigid support that embraces the comfortable seat. Upholstered in leather or removable fabric, it 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 an 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.
