The Flow collection by MDF Italia, designed to harmonize with style in domestic settings, offices, and communities, is a unique balance between impressive aesthetics and exceptional comfort.
The 2024 version of this project is based on five key principles: simplification, comfort, contemporaneity, iconicity, and sustainability.
The renewed typological proposal is distinguished by a careful analysis of the simplification of variants and the emphasis on the concept of collection, which ranges from Chair to Armchair, including Stool and Pouf.
The Flow seating offers two shell designs, Chair and Armchair, with a wide range of finishes, fabrics, and materials, which can be combined with five bases to generate a wide range of commercial possibilities.
Significant effort has been dedicated to improving comfort, both perceived and visual, with particular attention to the fully upholstered version and with front upholstered.
The new colour palette focuses on four shades, exclusive in the matt version: white, lead grey, terracotta, and light grey, simplifying the understanding and variety of the collection.
The product’s enhancement develops through different phases, from replacing polycarbonate with the
ECO-SUSTAINABLE formula to the restyling of the two iconic wooden bases, which maintain their original distinctive trait while taking on more contemporary forms. Furthermore, a new
simple and entry-level four-legged base has been introduced.
MDF Italia further distinguishes itself for its unequivocal commitment to environmental sustainability, emphasizing the desire to use exclusively wood comes from sustainably managed forests and eco-sustainable materials. This choice reflects the company’s responsible approach to the environment, ensuring that each product embodies the utmost respect for natural resources.
Chair and Armchair, 4 shell variants:
Unupholstered
The shell made of eco-sustainable polycarbonate, obtained by injection molding, is matt painted in white, lead grey, terracotta, and light grey colours. Considering the nature of the shell, this product is suitable for indoor use only.
Optional accessory: upholstered PAD, made with polyurethane and polyester wadding, and with quilting that is thermally bonded to the fabric. This special manufacturing technique endows the texture patterns and the padding with a three-dimensional look, while ensuring quality and durability over time. The upholstery covering cannot be removed.
Front upholstered
The polycarbonate shell is completed with padding.
The thermoformed and padded countershell is completed with a quilted polyurethane and polyester wadding mattress.
The comfort is improved by increasing the density of the polyurethane and the quality of the wadding. The padded versions can be made in fabric or leather and are removable with the possibility of additional covering.
Fully upholstered
Shell composed of a thermoformed and padded countershell with a small pad made of quilted polyurethane and polyester wadding at the front, and upholstery with zips in the lower part of the chair.
The upholstery is made of removable fabric or leather, which can be supplemented with additional upholstery.
The fully upholstered shell cannot be used without upholstery or partially upholstered (only countershell).
Fixed leather cover
Injection moulded polycarbonate shell, cold foam shaped on the load-bearing frame. The leather cover is not removable and covers the armchair completely.
Every armchair can be personalized thanks to two different types of leather (Nuvola and Anilina), alternating parts in smooth leather on the inside and microperforated leather on the outside of the body and matching stitching.
