An arm on Cloud is 30 cm (11.8″) wide and 54 cm (21.3″) high, whichever unit it belongs to. That one fixed figure explains the range. The 105 cm unit (41.3″) leaves 75 cm (29.5″) to sit on; the 120 cm unit (47.2″) leaves 90 cm (35.4″); the 135 cm unit (53.1″) leaves 105 cm (41.3″). Handed left or right, the sum never varies. Anyone comparing two schemes should therefore look past the overall dimension printed beside each piece and read the seat width: it is the part people occupy.
Set beside the other sofas and lounge seating we supply, this is the system Flexteam’s R/S studio developed for News 2025/2026. A run keeps one profile throughout: 74 cm (29.1″) to the top of the back, 42 cm (16.5″) to the seat, 105 cm (41.3″) front to back, of which 68 cm (26.8″) is seat. Underneath sits a frame of fir, plywood and wood fibre sprung with reinforced elastic webbing; the foam seat and back are attached to it and cannot be lifted away. Flexteam shows the sofa in living rooms. We plan it for breakout spaces and informal waiting areas too, often where a row of visitor chairs would be the expected answer.
The remaining pieces split the same way, by whether they carry an arm. With one: the chaise longue 165, at 160 × 165 cm (63″ × 65″), and the chaise longue 200, at 120 × 200 cm (47.2″ × 78.7″). Without: centre units of 75, 90 and 105 cm, where the whole width is seat; two end units; the 148 cm corner (58.3″) with its curved back; the open corner; the half-moon and the pouf. La Mercanti counts the real seats on the drawing, not the centimetres of each unit.

A square of 148 × 148 cm (58.3″ × 58.3″). The back of the corner unit is curved, tracing a quarter circle from one side to the other, so the piece turns the run through ninety degrees in a single sweep.
Yes, a pouf measuring 108 × 92 cm (42.5″ × 36.2″) and 42 cm high (16.5″), which is level with the sofa seat. Seen from above it is a quarter circle: two straight edges and one curved.
Non-deforming polyurethane foam in graded densities, wrapped in a white velour lining that is bonded to polyester fibre. The outer fabric goes over that lining. Flexteam specifies the same build for seat and back alike.
Reinforced elastic webbing. That is the wording on Flexteam’s technical sheet for the springing of the system, and it applies to the units of a run as much as to the chaise longues: one suspension throughout.
Yes, with an end unit. There are two. The 165 measures 130 × 165 cm (51.2″ × 65″), comes left or right, and has a curved recess on its free flank. The 200 measures 90 × 200 cm (35.4″ × 78.7″) and is made in one hand only.
Cloud’s upholstery is fully removable. Five steps for stripping a unit and dressing it again so that every seam returns to where it started.
Take pictures of each unit from the front, the side and behind, plus close-ups of the edges. The cover has flat seams that follow the outline of the piece, and your photographs are the record of where each one should lie afterwards.
A corner, a chaise longue and a centre unit each have their own cover, and a left-hand piece is not a right-hand one. Mark each cover with the unit it came from before you put it down, so that nothing is matched by guesswork later.
Once the cover is off, what you see is the white velour lining of the padding. That lining is part of the cushioning underneath and it is not the layer to be washed; the fabric cover you have just removed is.
Flexteam offers the system in different fabrics, and each has its own care instructions. Follow the ones supplied with the fabric chosen for your sofa; they decide how the cover may be cleaned and what it should never be exposed to.
Pull the labelled cover back over its own unit and compare the result with the first photographs. Ease the flat seams along the edges until they sit as they did before, then move on to the next piece.
