"Formally simple modules and large sizes underpinned by a light profile and aluminium feet with different finishes: Frank’s features are conveyed by the comfortable reassuring image with original highlights based on small padded elements that act as armrest or which, by supporting a free cushion, create a sort of hand rest. Sofas, benches with backrest, chaise longue and pouf create a domestic landscape that envisages large layouts, enriched with accessories in wood or metal.
The Frank collection includes a further service element in steel that offers a wide range of finish options in neutral or bright colours. The asymmetrical position of the vertical elements enables the base to be drawn as close as possible to the seats. Accompanying them is an additional single-material ottoman with a more traditional appearance. It can be upholstered in leather or fabric, and can be used as a surface to set things on or as an additional seat."
