Time does not forgive the design of purely decorative techniques devoid of ideas - only the latter withstand the test of changing eras and are preferred, continuing to "speak". It is unlikely that the Cestone sofa gained recognition only because it has a spectacular finish on the side parts. Something more is hidden in this visual reception: such a sofa is no longer attached to the wall, as it was before. He stands in the center of the room, enclosing its functional script and style.
"The test of time confirms the true value of an idea" -
Antonio Citterio
The ends of the sofa and its back are supplemented with decorative panels. The metal frame frames a checkerboard texture woven from strips of cowhide. This noble material has been used by mankind for many centuries, and the furniture in the design of which it is present only becomes more textured over the years. Flexform offers two types of weaving to choose from - a tight one, which forms a tightly joined surface, and a looser one, through the gaps of which the upholstery of the soft elements of the Cestone sofa is visible.

The sofa itself is available in 13 different colors, 4 of which are suede. Such diversity makes Cestone stylistically adaptable to many interiors. Flexform also offers the Cestone sofa in tandem with a coffee table from the series of the same name — the natural wood pattern of the tabletop will create a warm textural contrast with the decorative cowhide panels.
