Gregory XL Sofa
Made by Flexform
Designed by Antonio Citterio
Antonio Citterio designed the Gregory sofa as a study in controlled proportion, and the XL configuration extends that intention to its fullest expression. The silhouette is generous without being imposing, reading as architectural in a room while retaining the warmth that has long defined Italian living.
Grosgrain piping traces the cushion edges with the precision of a made-to-measure garment, a detail that speaks to Citterio's consistent dialogue between fashion and furniture. Cowhide finishes soften the metal structure beneath, grounding the form in materiality rather than spectacle.
- Metal frame with tailored cowhide detail options
- Grosgrain piping on all cushion profiles
- Fully removable and replaceable upholstery
- Available across a wide range of fabrics and leathers
The removable upholstery system is not a convenience alone. It is an invitation to compose the piece over time, adapting it to evolving spaces and sensibilities without surrendering the integrity of the original design.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is grosgrain piping and why does Citterio use it?
Grosgrain is a ribbed, densely woven ribbon fabric traditionally used in tailoring and millinery. Citterio applies it as a finishing detail along cushion edges to give the sofa the precision and structure of a crafted garment, a recurring motif in his furniture work for Flexform.
Can the upholstery on the Gregory XL be replaced later?
Yes. The Gregory XL features a fully removable upholstery system, meaning the covers can be taken off and replaced independently of the frame. This allows the piece to be re-covered in a different fabric or leather as a space evolves.
What frame materials are used in the Flexform Gregory XL?
The Gregory XL is built on a metal frame, with cowhide used as a softening detail at key structural points. This combination balances the precision of the metal construction with a tactile warmth at the surfaces you encounter most.
How does the Gregory XL differ from the standard Gregory sofa?
The XL configuration extends the overall scale of the Gregory, offering greater seating depth and width. The proportions are designed to read architecturally in larger spaces while preserving the same tailored detailing and material quality of the original.
Who is Antonio Citterio and what is his relationship with Flexform?
Antonio Citterio is a Milan-based architect and designer whose work has shaped the visual language of contemporary Italian furniture. His collaboration with Flexform spans decades, producing pieces that consistently balance structural discipline with domestic warmth.
