About The Product
Flexform’s Tessa chair designed by Antonio Citterio is a complex chair despite its simple form.
The structure is made entirely of solid ash or turned walnut. The traditional joinery requires expert craftsmanship and gently exalts the natural texture and feel of the wood.
About The Designer
Antonio Citterio was born in Meda in 1950, started his design office in 1972, and graduated in architecture at the Milan Polytechnic in 1975.
Antonio Citterio currently works in the industrial design sector with Italian and foreign companies such as Ansorg, Arclinea, Axor-Hansgrohe, B&B Italia, Flexform, Flos, Hermès, Iittala, Kartell, Maxalto, Sanitec (Geberit Group), Technogym and Vitra.
About the Manufacturer
Flexform is a family business. Now in its third generation, Flexform was founded in the Brianza furniture manufacturing district in Northern Italy in the 1960s.
An area where small artisan workshops intersects with that of the great masters of Italian design, trained at the School of Architecture in nearby Milan.
Why We Like It
Quality craftsmanship is an essential element of any good piece of furniture and is a key part of the Tessa chair’s manufacturing process.
The harmony between the walnut wood and the woven paper rush cord make this chair an elegant and comfortable piece of furniture, suitable for inside or outside living.
