Arflex was born in 1950. Arflex creates, produces it and commercializes furnishing products for the house, the office and the contract of high technological and aesthetic level. The products, from the innovative forms and with vanguard technologies, are fruit of continuos in-depth researches and experimentations, let alone of the cooperation and the engagement of italian and foreign architects and designers. The vocation eminently test her of Arflex what is with a commercial nature which specific attention to the distributive organization sia in Italy springs from combined abroad.

The sofa is available with different heights of arms and backrests. By Giuseppe Viganò.

Monica Graffeo designs also Mints. It is a stacking chair, made from polyurethane, foamed on a tubular structure chrome-plated metal. The foamed part has a particular shape designed to use the polyurethane as little as possible: the empty space among the foamed parts has just the aim to take away the material and to make the chair lighter, which otherwise could be quite heavy. The shape of this chair is also born to communicate and to amplify in a visual way the softness of the material: the foamed parts are very soft and become pliable, adapting to any body weight thanks to the springs embedded into the foam. This was her personal dream: to create comfortable and soft products. She dreamed a chair in which she could sit without, at a certain point, having pins and needles in the legs, because of the traumatic contact of her soft body on a stiff structure. A product which can communicate, also in a visual way, an idea of softness. Mints Chair with and without armrests in metal structure padded with injection polyurethane foam. Chrome-plated metal legs.

Mints Stool in metal structure padded with injection polyurethane foam, chrome-plated frame. It is height adjustable. In white, black, grey, fuchsia.
