The Fly series is a lounge collection that includes sofas, armchairs, poufs, and coffee tables. It is designed first for comfort, having easy loose cushions on top of the wooden structure and the back, allowing users to modify the arrangement as pleased.
The style is inspired by the Scandinavian design heritage with a solid body and straight legs that come in 2 sizes. The wooden base is where everything is tied together; the legs and the railed back of the couch create the sturdy body of the chairs by connecting to this surface of solid Oak. The base then extends beyond the couch, offering an additional flat top for a cup of coffee or a magazine.
The series is hand-built from solid Oak using traditional woodworking techniques. The oak is then oiled, using white or smoked finishes, giving it the shine and texture of a timber classic.

In addition to the lounge chairs, the Fly collection includes tables and poufs that possess the same design language of the other pieces. The horizontal wooden surface follows the height and dimensions of the sofa’s structure and is supported by the same four legs.
The tabletop is made from a honed marble plate that comes in 3 variations, while the pouf uses the same finish as the sofa cushions.

The chair seems comfortable and inviting, but has a rather elegant feel and outlook. It appears as a work of art; a sculpted piece of furniture with a rich history. The personality of Fly is mainly due to the aesthetics of its timber body; the railed back support that continues to shape the hand-rests on both sides.
The collection is a perfect adaptation of a classic style in a modern body. It can be used within a modern setting in which it will offer a visual contrast between elements. It is also suitable for a conventional classic setting where it will fit with ease and elevate the space’s artistic ambiance.
