Concept
Aesthetic simplicity embraces surprising comfort
A sharp contrast
Aesthetic simplicity embraces surprising comfort
Encapsulated in the minimalist lines of Flutz, designed by Michael Anastassiades, is a fascinating material and structural oxymoron: the geometric rigour of the chair, accentuated by its aluminium sides, frames a soft seat characterised by an inviting shape. Comfortable and elegant, Flutz sits perfectly with the Ordinal table, also designed by Michael Anastassiades, to fully complete his line of products for the dining area.
An allusion to figure skating
Two thin parallel aluminium sheets rise up to shape the armrests of Flutz, producing a rigid support that welcomes a comfortable seat. Thanks to an invisible plate that joins the crosspieces and attaches the seat to the structure, the seat seems to float above the base. Essential and clearly defined, this construction calls to mind the poetic grace of figure skating, a sport in which precision is also paired with sophistication.
The metal base is available in three matt finishes of aluminium: natural anodised or powder-coated anthracite or black. The welcoming seat, upholstered in leather or fabric, ensures sturdy yet cosy support thanks to its shell that is wrapped in soft padding and encased in a slipcover in recycled PET wadding.
Disassemblable and recyclable
Thanks to the work carried out by Cassina LAB, with an eye to circularity the chair’s elements can be disassembled at the end of its life cycle, facilitating the recycling of its components. This includes the metal structure, the removable upholstery and the padding that can be detached from the shell thanks to an internal zip.

Michael Anastassiades
United Kingdom
Michael Anastassiades launched his studio in 1994 to explore contemporary notions of culture and aesthetics through a combination of product, furniture and environmental design. Positioned between fine art and design, his work aims to provoke dialogue, participation and interaction. He creates objects that are minimal, utilitarian and almost mundane, yet full of vitality one might not expect. Anastassiades’ work is featured in permanent collections at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the Craft Council in London, the FRAC Centre in Orleans, France, and the MAK in Vienna. His solo exhibitions include Time and Again at the Geymüllerschlössel/MAK in Vienna, To Be Perfectly Frank at Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm, Norfolk House Music room at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Cyprus Presidency at the European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium. One of the most recent exhibitions explores what Anastassiades calls the “contemporary anxieties of modern Cyprus” entitled Reload the Current Page at the Point Centre for Contemporary Art in Nicosia, Cyprus, and the collection General Illuminations, as part of the exhibition Doings on Time and Light at Rodeo Gallery, Istanbul. He has designed products with various leading manufacturers including FLOS, Lobmeyr and Svenskt Tenn. In 2007 he set up the company Michael Anastassiades Ltd to produce his signature pieces; a collection of lighting, furniture, jewellery, and tabletop objects. The studio’s philosophy is a continuous search for eclecticism, individuality, and timeless qualities in design. Michael Anastassiades trained as a civil engineer at London’s Imperial College of Science Technology and Medicine before taking a masters degree in industrial design at the Royal College of Art. He lives and works in London.
