THE ICONIC “V” OPENING DEFINES THE DESIGN

ARCHIMEDE takes shape from a design vision that seeks the perfect balance between aesthetic essentiality and everyday comfort. Its slender silhouette, defined by clean lines and harmonious proportions, conveys a sense of visual lightness that interacts naturally with the architecture of contemporary interiors.


Defining the chair is the iconic “V”-shaped opening in the backrest: a distinctive detail that introduces depth, rhythm, and recognizability to the design, transforming a functional element into an elegant and instantly identifiable stylistic signature. The result is a sophisticated and versatile chair, designed to blend seamlessly into both residential interiors and refined hospitality environments.

THREE MATERIAL INTERPRETATIONS WITH A DISTINCTIVE CHARACTER

Conceived as a true design canvas, ARCHIMEDE enhances personalization through different material interpretations that highlight its tailored character.

The leather or fabric-upholstered version focuses on softness, comfort, and high performance thanks to the use of innovative and durable materials, making it ideal for intensive use in contract settings as well.

The saddle leather version expresses an authentic and timeless elegance, where the material naturally evolves over time, acquiring uniqueness and personality through use.

Completing the collection is the version featuring a woven nautical rope backrest, introducing an unexpected visual lightness through a refined interplay of solids and voids, giving the chair a contemporary and sophisticated aesthetic.

A VERSATILE COLLECTION FOR LIVING, HOSPITALITY, AND CONTRACT SPACES

The philosophy behind ARCHIMEDE fully reflects the RIFLESSI approach: combining research, manufacturing excellence, and attention to detail in a collection designed to meet the needs of contemporary living.

Available as a chair, armchair, and stool, the ARCHIMEDE family is conceived to ensure stylistic continuity and maximum versatility across a wide range of interior settings.


Each piece is crafted through tailored workmanship and a construction quality that is distinctly Made in Italy, where ergonomic comfort, premium materials, and artisanal precision come together to create a seating collection designed to stand the test of time while enhancing spaces with understated personality.
