A book to celebrate forty years of the company’s most iconic product. In Nathalie/40, Flou tells the story of the first textile bed, recounting the evolution of taste and lifestyle from 1978 to today, which inspired Rosario Messina and Vico Magistretti to create the “bed with tassels”.
Flou, Nathalie 1978The celebrations began at the Salone del Mobile.Milano 2018 with the debut of Nathalie Limited Edition. This model, which was released as a limited series of 299, faithfully reproduces one of the 1978 versions. The short film Il fiocco perfetto (The perfect bow), dedicated to the brand’s bed, was also presented at the trade show.
Until 31st December, Flou, in collaboration with the showrooms participating in the initiative, will distribute Nathalie/40 and will screen the film in stores that host the historic bed.
