Alison
Made by Flexform
The Alison armchair occupies a considered space between two design traditions. Its sinuously curved solid wood structure draws from Scandinavian formal restraint, while the upholstery palette and material generosity are unmistakably Italian. The result reads quietly in a room and rewards closer attention.
The frame is offered in ash, oak, or Canaletto walnut, each available across a wide range of stain finishes. Where most armchairs treat the back as an afterthought, Alison wraps it in saddle hide chosen for its structural character and the way it shifts and deepens with use. The seat, by contrast, is built for sustained comfort: goose down layered over polyurethane foam, upholstered in any fabric or leather from Flexform's full range, with removable covers throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions
What wood options are available for the Alison armchair?
The Alison is available with a solid wood structure in ash, oak, or Canaletto walnut. Each species is offered across a broad range of stain finishes, allowing the frame to read warmer or cooler depending on the surrounding palette.
Why is saddle hide used for the seat back?
Saddle hide is a firm, densely tanned leather chosen for its structural integrity rather than softness. On the Alison, it gives the back panel a taut, architectural quality and develops a personal patina over years of use, becoming more characterful with time rather than worn.
Can the Alison upholstery be removed for cleaning?
Yes. The seat upholstery on the Alison is fully removable, and covers can be specified in any fabric or leather from Flexform's extensive range. This makes the chair adaptable for both residential and hospitality environments where maintenance is a practical consideration.
How does Flexform approach Scandinavian design influence?
Flexform draws on Scandinavian design's emphasis on honest material use and structural clarity, then layers it with the material depth and upholstery tradition of Italian manufacturing. The Alison is a clear example: a wood frame with a disciplined silhouette, paired with premium hide and down-filled cushioning.
What interior settings suit the Alison armchair best?
The Alison's curved wood frame and restrained proportions make it equally at home in a study, a bedroom corner, or alongside a larger sofa grouping. Its scale is intimate without being slight, and the combination of exposed wood and upholstery gives it enough visual presence to anchor a smaller seating arrangement on its own.
