Ginger by Flexform
Quiet Companions of our Lives
Timeless, elegant comfort – an ideal that has shaped our pursuit of homeliness, yesterday as much as today. Furniture that not only enhances a space but also elevates daily life holds a special kind of value. These pieces become companions, sharing in our lives in their own quiet way.
The design of the Ginger Chaise Longue by Flexform embodies this very principle. Originally conceived in 1984 by Antonio Citterio, this iconic piece is now experiencing a reinvention—a reflection of its enduring relevance. Form and function unite in perfect harmony: a gracefully curved metal frame cradles soft, inviting seat and back cushions. A practical integrated swivel table completes the composition, offering space for a book or a cup of coffee—an effortless fusion of comfort and utility.
An aspiration Antonio Citterio (Meda, Italy, 1950) once mentioned manifests through this design: “I would like to design products that endure over time, that are Timeless – are contemporary today, will be contemporary 20 years from now, and were contemporary 40 years ago. The ultimate purpose that almost everyone strives for.”
This philosophy is beautifully reflected in the Ginger Chaise Longue. It is more than just a piece of furniture—it is a constant in the ever-changing flow of time, a design that does not fade but endures.
In a world in perpetual motion, few things remain. Yet, in permanence lies a rare and precious value. The Ginger Chaise Longue proves that true design does not follow fleeting trends; rather, it evolves alongside people and their needs. It invites us to see it not merely as an object of beauty, but as a living story—one that continues to unfold as it finds a new home, carries memories, and accompanies its owners across decades.
It is the art of reinterpretation that makes this piece so special. For true innovation does not always mean creating something entirely new; sometimes, it lies in reimagining the familiar, in experiencing it anew while preserving its essence. The Ginger Chaise Longue is a striking reminder that the past can be an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the present—and that true beauty never bows to the passage of time.
