A traditional-style sofa, the embodiment of elegance, comfort and the kind of consummate artisan craftsmanship, more relevant now than ever, that Flexform products are known for.  The Ambroeus sofa conveys an immediate image of unparalleled welcoming warmth, thanks to the especially sumptuous padding, enveloping and fluffy as pillows. It expresses the extraordinary visual contrast between the lightness of the metal structure, available in a variety of finishes, and the ample seat and backrest cushions, generously padded in goose down, set against the cowhide-clad base. The sophisticated leather-upholstered metal armrest that ends in expertly designed feet is a distinctive design feature. An elegant fold embellishes the cushion upholstery, an intricate craftsmanship detail that traces back to Flexform’s innate tailoring expertise. The Ambroeus sofa is available in two- and three-seat stand-alone versions and in a series of differently arranged configurations.
