The Flynn chair by Rinaldi is an icon of 70's design, combining visual lightness with a modern and functional structure. Its base, made of an inclined metal tube, forms an elegant "L" that gives it a floating and dynamic look. The seat, made of metal mesh, adds an airy, industrial touch, while the padded cushions ensure comfort without sacrificing style. Its balanced design between minimalist and sophisticated makes it a versatile piece, adaptable to any space.

Gastone Rinaldi became the owner of RIMA, the company specialized in the production of metal furniture, founded by his father in 1920. Rinaldi took the family business to another level, generating avant-garde designs that had relevant repercussions in the world of Italian and international design, becoming an emblem of the transition from artisan production to industrial production in the 1950s. His way of working allowed him to surround himself with the best designers of the time, even collaborating with them, as was the case with Gio Ponti, Ico Parisi or Carlo De Carli, among many others.
