FLUX

FLUX combines the ease of a modern plastic shell with the classic features of a hand-crafted wood frame. The ergonomics of the highly flexible seat shell offer extraordinary sitting comfort. The variety of shell colours combined with the range of available stain colours for the solid beech frame allows the right colour combinations to be chosen for any design concept. Other options available include the choice of a fully upholstered shell or an optional seat cushion.
