Select and customize Arflex with Esperiri

Arflex is a furniture company that has always had the words “experimentation, technology and innovation” as the main purpose for its production. Arflex furniture is specialized in both indoor and outdoor furniture, with upholstered sofas and armchairs, but also tables, lighting points and accessories.

About Arflex Furniture

Founded in 1947 in Milan, Arflex has specialized in flexible furniture with a highly technological and esthetic appeal. Thanks to the collaboration of the founders with the great Pirelli industry, Arflex began a journey towards the experimentation of upholstered furniture, which led to a more industrial production system capable of using materials that were not available at that time for furniture, such as foam rubber and elastic tape. 

The company expands and starts important collaborations with great designers such as Paola Vella, Marco Zanuso, Cini Boeri, Carlo Colombo and many others, winning many awards at international level, from the Compasso d’Oro to the prestigious Wallpaper Design Awards in 2010. Some Arflex models are permanently exhibited at MoMA in New York, Triennale in Milan, Triennale in Tokyo, Chicago Athenaeum. 

Some of their most emblematic design pieces include the Lady armchair designed by Franco Albini, winner of a golden medal at the IX Triennale, the Sleep-O-Matic Arflex sofa, also winner of a golden medal at the X Triennale, the Martingala armchair, the Delfino armchair, just to mention a few.

Arflex Furniture: Frequently Asked Questions

Which Arflex sofas and chairs suit my living room, and can Esperiri customise them?

Esperiri starts from your room: its size, its light and the way you use it. The designers then select Arflex sofas, armchairs and chairs whose proportions fit the space, and choose upholstery, colours and finishes from the options of each model, so the pieces feel made for your home rather than picked from a catalogue.

Can Esperiri supply Arflex furniture to my home abroad?

Yes. Esperiri supplies Arflex sofas, armchairs and chairs directly from Italy, together with the rest of your furniture, and ships them worldwide by sea or air. Arflex upholstery is delivered white glove and ready to be placed, so no on-site installation is needed.

How can I be sure an Arflex sofa suits my room before ordering?

By seeing it in place. Esperiri’s photorealistic renders show the sofa in your living room, at its real size and in the chosen upholstery, and samples of the fabrics or leathers arrive by express courier. If you come to Milan, you can also sit on the models with an Esperiri designer and compare them with pieces from other brands in your project.

How has Esperiri used Arflex in its projects?

Often. In a villa in Jeddah, an Arflex Sigmund bench furnishes the formal living room; in a villa in Doha, black lacquered Elettra chairs; in an apartment in Sentosa Cove, Singapore, a Botolo chair in white fur adds a playful note. Each time, Arflex was combined with other Italian brands in one order.
