About the collection

Flows

Flows is Manutti's loungers and daybeds collection, designed by Metrica Design Studio — an aluminum frame with a handcrafted wood finish. Flows unites a world of contrasts: limber yet strong, this collection features a light, elegant aluminum frame combined with the warmth of a handcrafted wood finish. Flows carefully balances old and new to give the pieces their defining characteristics. The unique shape of the oval legs turns the Flows sofas and loungers into one-of-a-kind pieces destined for long-lasting appreciation. Within Manutti's outdoor catalog it sits alongside Alune Elements.

About the Flows collection by Manutti

Flows sits within Manutti's permanent outdoor catalog — the Belgian house has held a position as a European specialty outdoor manufacturer with established US trade representation. Flows is an aluminum frame with a handcrafted wood finish, produced at Manutti's European factory to the same material and documentation standard as the rest of the catalog.

Material and construction notes

For US trade specifiers, Flows carries the same data sheets and US-trade documentation as the rest of the Manutti catalog: ASTM F1858 outdoor-furniture compliance where applicable, fire-code classification on cushion components, and chain-of-shipment documentation supplied with the invoice. Bespoke fabric or finish substitutions are accepted on a COM workflow with confirmed yardage at quote stage; see the Sunbrella and Outdura specifier reference for the workflow at the European factory.
