Flexform
Flexform is the Italian house that has spent more than sixty years on one deceptively simple idea: a sofa you sink into and do not want to leave. BeDESIGN is an authorized Flexform dealer in Houston, Texas, carrying the full collection for residential and commercial projects. The proportions are quiet, the comfort is real, and the look stays current for decades. Come sit down at our Houston showroom, or request a custom quote.
About Flexform
Flexform was founded in 1959 by brothers Romeo, Pietro, and Agostino Galimberti in Meda, Italy, the heart of the Brianza furniture district. What began as an artisan workshop building armchairs and sofas became, by 1967, a full industrial operation. Today, all Flexform production still takes place exclusively in Meda, and the company remains family-owned.
In the 1960s, Flexform collaborated with pioneering designers like Cini Boeri, Joe Colombo, and Rodolfo Bonetto, establishing a reputation for design-forward seating. But the partnership that defined Flexform came in the early 1970s, when Antonio Citterio, born in Meda himself, began what would become a four-decade creative relationship with the brand. Citterio has served as Flexform’s lead designer ever since, coordinating all collections and shaping the brand’s identity around what he calls “discreet elegance.”
Signature collections
Flexform’s catalog includes some of contemporary furniture design’s most recognized pieces. The Groundpiece sofa, introduced in 2001, redefined casual luxury with its low-slung profile, generous depth, and signature goose-down cushions. The A.B.C. armchair (1996), updated as the award-winning A.B.C.D. in 2014, demonstrated that metal and leather could feel as warm as upholstery. More recent additions include the Soft Dream and Magister sofa systems, the Asolo collection, and the Gregory modular system.
Beyond sofas, Flexform produces beds, dining tables, storage, and accessories, each designed with the same proportional rigor. What unifies the line is restraint: Flexform pieces never announce themselves, but they define every room they’re in.
Why designers specify Flexform
Architects and interior designers return to Flexform because the quality is consistent and the design language is stable. A Flexform sofa from ten years ago still looks current. The proportions are considered, the materials are honest, and the construction is built for decades of daily use. For trade professionals, Flexform offers a level of reliability that simplifies specification.
“The seat depth is deliberate: deep enough that you have to make a small commitment to sit down properly, which means you are not perching, you are not posing, you are simply in the room. A Flexform sofa is the piece that guests sit down on and then, forty-five minutes later, realize they have not moved.”
— Adrian Dueñas, Co-Founder, BeDESIGN
