Versatile, flexible, adaptable: deep or very deep, with low or high armrests, linear or in other compositions, the SOFT DREAM sofa rises lightly off the floor thanks to an elegant metal base that supports a thin metal tray covered in cowhide on which to place the soft, airy cushions. A sophisticated design that conserves the lightness of the FLEXFORM stylistic code and makes a promise with its name. SOFT DREAM: a soft sofa, for dreaming.
