Perry up
Envisioned and designed for connoisseurs of timeless minimalist style,
the Perry Up seating system grew out of a concept that blends superior comfort
with perfectly calibrated proportions and refined tailoring details.
An elegant base in tubular metal with cast-aluminum feet supports a soft
structure with fluffy goose-down seat and backrest cushions that lend the sofa
an inviting, welcoming appeal.
The variety of elements that comprise the Perry Up seating system make
it possible to configure both stand-alone and modular arrangements in many
sizes and finishes.
Its dignified, versatile personality allows the Perry Up sofa to wear
with equal aplomb any of the fabrics and exclusive leathers in the Flexform
collection, and to create unique – tone-on-tone or contrasting – pairings
between the color of the upholstery material and the grosgrain or eco-leather
piping.
