Designed in keeping with the standards for advanced modularity and great comfort, the Camelot seating system allows highly-personalized configurations, thanks to the combinability of modules and the matching of materials.

Visually, it offers an intriguing contrast between the formal austerity of the structure – composed of metal supports and a cylindrical bar in wood or clad in cowhide – and the welcoming softness of the upholstered elements.

The extremely varied product range includes a number of elements of different width and depth, aimed at maximizing decor possibilities suited to the most diverse spaces. The backrest cushions feature generous proportions and enveloping goose-down padding – an invitation to sit back and relax.

Flexform’s distinct aptitude for custom tailoring is clear in the emblematic craftsmanship details.

Seat cushion and backrest upholstery are finished with elegant piping that can be selected in a contrasting color or tone-on-tone. The high degree of personalization is evident not only in the vast array of fabric or leather upholstery options, but also in the choice of metal finishes for the support frame, as well as the cylindrical bar that can be crafted in numerous types of premium wood or clad in cowhide.
