FLAP by Meneghello Paolelli, the first series of modular upholstered furniture where seating elements are combined in compositions with support surfaces, similarly shortens the gap between indoor and outdoor.

The Flap modular upholstered furniture family extends to incorporate three new components: an armchair, a pouf, and two chaises longues. Designed to respond with even more flexibility to both the desire for comfort and the specific characteristics of each space, these pieces allow further articulation and rhythm in seating composition, offering new support surfaces, and multiplying opportunities for arrangement and exchange. The distinctive features that distinguish the line remain unchanged, like the metal tubing of the structure, thin and minimalist, and the support provided by the flaps, the inclined ailerons on which the large backrest cushions rest.

The designers say, “The moveable backrest, a FLAP, which sits on the tubular structure and can rotate roughly 15 degrees on its axis, allowing the support cushion to have varying inclinations for maximum comfort, is what defines the system and gives the collection its name. The frame, supported by the Flaps, appears to wrap around the line of cushions outlining the profile of the upholstery, highlighting the continuous antagonism between the softness and “fullness” of the upholstery, and lightness and “emptiness” of the enveloping structure. The system consists of eight parts that can be combined to create varying compositions. We purposefully designed a flexible solution that could be used in a variety of scenarios, both residential and commercial.”
