Florence

Florence is a reintroduction of a timeless and elegant design icon.

Florence

BY

March 22nd, 2011

Florence is manufactured the same way as Bentwood chairs were manufactured 150 years ago.

 

The process involves bending a piece of steamed solid wood at an angle of as many as 180° is a job that only human hands can manage.

 

Bentwood chairs are highly sought-after for architects, hotel administrators, restaurants, and cafés as they aptly represent old world style in today’s modern environments.

The difference between music and noise is partly how we feel when we hear it. Similarly, the way people respond to an indoor space is based on sensory qualities such as colour, texture, shapes, scents and sound.
