Flou · Italy since 1978
Sofas, sofa beds
and armchairs.
Flou stands for Italian living culture at the highest level. Designs by Vico Magistretti, Rodolfo Dordoni, Patricia Urquiola, Carlo Colombo and Pinuccio Borgonovo – exclusively manufactured in Brianza near Milan.
Flou since 1978
"The bed is a special place. The future is born here."
Flou was founded in 1978 by Rosario Messina in Italy's Brianza – the heartland of Italian furniture making. Today the Messina family runs the company with collections by the most renowned Italian designers. At Imperial Interiors we carry the Flou living-room furniture: sofas, sofa beds, armchairs and complementary pieces. We do not offer the Flou bed collection, as we focus on DUXIANA and our in-house brand NUVOSETTE.
