The Arflex Brigitte is an armchair built around comfort, in two versions: the
Brigitte, open and roomy, and the Brigitte bergère, with a high back that wraps
around you. It is signed by the Swedish studio Claesson Koivisto Rune. Here at
Mariani, official Arflex retailers in Milan and Arluno, we help you choose and prepare your quote.

The design: two ways of sitting
Arflex describes the Brigitte and the Brigitte bergère as generous and welcoming,
with a high degree of seating comfort. The seat is roomy: in the armchair it lets you change
position freely, to read, curl up or stretch out.
The bergère adds a high back with side wings and becomes, in Arflex's words, a
soft, semi-private personal space to retreat into: the right chair for a reading
corner or a bedroom.

The designers
A Swedish studio between architecture and design.
Claesson Koivisto Rune began in 1995 as an architecture practice and grew into a multidisciplinary studio working on both buildings and objects, in the Scandinavian tradition.
Its designs are produced by more than thirty international manufacturers. For Arflex the studio has designed, among others, the Hug armchair, the Tokio sofa and the Delta Vienna armchair. The Brigitte, from 2024, is one of its most recent projects.
