Flex

Flex has a fresh, clear and cool look and with its structure and shine it appears expressive and bold. The smooth surface signals efficiency and precision with clear references to the world of sports – athletics, cykling and windsurfing. The characteristic structure reflects the individual colours with a sharp contrast between the shining surface and the deeper dark reflexes.

A GLOSSY, FRESH AND REFINED EXPRESSION

Flex has a fresh, clear and cool look and with its structure and shine it appears expressive and bold. The smooth surface signals efficiency and precision with clear references to the world of sports – athletics, cykling and windsurfing.

The characteristic structure reflects the individual colours with a sharp contrast between the shining surface and the deeper dark reflexes.

The upholsterer finds Flex easy and comfortable to work with. The design has a good stretch which supports the upholstering of curved surfaces. At the same time, Flex is a heavy and tightly knitted fabric which does not fray when being cut out.

Flex is an obvious choice for upholstering all pieces of furniture when the textile is to support messages such as young, fresh and trendy. Flex matches modern building materials and interior designs. The design is widely used for contract and home interiors such as furniture for offices, lounges and youth clubs, cafes, hotels etc.

The colour scale is composed of a range of classic, clear colours supplemented by individual signal colours. The graphic colours black, grey and beige are represented together with individual, subdued medium tones adding width to the colour scale.
