FLEXION / COFFEE TABLE
The project
The characteristic silhouette of the Flexion table shrinks, making way for a coffee table that is perfect for creating beautiful outdoor lounges by the poolside.
Versatile and extremely manoeuvrable thanks to its low height, this Flexion version also features a curved stem with different tops in circular, elliptical or organic shape.
Unique in its form, it is made of cataphoresis-protected, powder-coated steel, thus also adapting to marine areas.
CategoryResidential and contract outdoor furniture. C5M protective cycle, also suitable for marine areas. Powder coating varnishing.
