Arflex
In 1947 Carlo Barassi, engineer of Pirelli, together with Renato Teani, in the financial dpt. of Pirelli, Pio Reggiani and Aldo Bai, founded the company Ar-flex (“flexible furniture”), which became later arflex. They worked together with a young architect, Marzo Zanuso, and began to experiment the use of foam rubber and elastic tapes for the furniture market. In history and life of a company, there are events and moments of special meaning, which are awards for merit acknowledged by everybody.
Throughout the decades, Arflex expanded globally, working with legendary designers such as Cini Boeri, Michele De Lucchi, and Jean Nouvel. The brand is known for pushing boundaries with groundbreaking pieces like the modular Serpentone sofa and the award-winning Hug collection.
Today, Arflex blends heritage with innovation, redefining past icons and creating future classics. From indoor elegance to outdoor luxury, every piece is crafted with precision, combining timeless aesthetics with modern functionality.
