Brand’s story
Arflex, a historic Italian company active in the design upholstery sector, produces sofas, armchairs and prestigious accessories of top quality for more than seventy years. Recognised as one of the leading design brands in the furniture field. They are well known as the first furniture producer who started to use polyurethane for stuffing of soft seating, allowing to create a larger variety of shapes and designs. 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.
