255 FLAT

Designed by Piero Lissoni

Flat is a family of container units designed by Piero Lissoni and part of the collection since 1999. The collection has been thoroughly revised, focusing on its stylistic renewal, the perfection of its technical details, the expansion of the range of configurations in order to meet different use purposes. The range of finishes has been enriched with the introduction of updated and contemporary wood species, marbles, lacquers and metals. This all-round system of storage units can create compositions that blend in harmoniously with different areas of the home, conversing with other furnishing elements. Solutions for the living room for the perfect organisation of space using storage elements and accessories or acting as a stand for televisions sets or audiovideo systems. Solutions for bedrooms, including handy chests with six drawers or with large drawers for storing garments and personal belongings, and beside tables. The configurations, proposed according to pre-established plans, have been studied and designed taking into account the wide range of storage requirements of a varied public in the various domestic and non-domestic areas.
