Gatsby Armchair
Made by Flexform
Designed by Antonio Citterio
The Gatsby Armchair is Antonio Citterio at his most assured. Designed for Flexform, it carries the quiet authority that defines Citterio's long dialogue with the Italian house: form that feels fully resolved, materiality that rewards close attention.
An ergonomic polyurethane structure provides the underlying geometry, while a goose-down seat cushion softens the silhouette into something genuinely enveloping. The upholstery wraps with the precision of couture, each seam considered rather than merely finished.
