Flou, famously “the leader in ‘design for sleep’ since 1978” has expanded its expertise from luxury beds into a full range of furniture, including designer ottomans, chaise lounges, small armchairs, benches, and poufs. Flou’s ethos centers on comfort and craftsmanship, ensuring that even their lounge furniture carries the same relaxation DNA as their iconic beds. The brand uses premium materials (like solid woods, metals, and high-density foams) and offers a coordinated textile collection so that accessories like designer ottomans and footstools can match or complement their beds and sofas.
- Outdoor Chaise Lounge – Gaudí Sunbed: One of Flou’s notable pieces is the Gaudí outdoor sun lounger, which brings the brand’s indoor comfort to the open air. Designed by Matteo Nunziati, the Gaudí sunbed “reiterates and embellishes the classical shape of sun loungers” with a combination of natural wood and advanced outdoor materials. Its frame is aluminum with a white epoxy powder-coat, ensuring light weight and rust resistance. At the same time, the lounger showcases Flou’s signature woodworking: the headboard and front legs are made of solid Iroko wood (available in natural, grey, or coffee-brown stain) for a warm, elegant accent. For comfort, the base is covered in a water-repellent technical fabric and includes a manually reclinable backrest, paired with a self-draining, non-deformable mattress. All covers are removable and in weatherproof outdoor upholstery, aligning with Flou’s focus on practicality and longevity. Thoughtful details like discreet wheels at the back (for easy relocation) and a protective breathable cover show Flou’s dedication to functional design. The Gaudí chaise lounge thus stands out as a fusion of luxury and innovation in the sun lounger category – it delivers the “refinement and comfort” that define Flou’s indoor furniture, now optimized for poolside or garden relaxation.
- Designer Ottomans, Poufs & Benches: Flou’s collection of poufs and benches are beloved for their versatility and style. In fact, Flou notes that ottomans and benches are among “the best-loved and most versatile furnishing accessories”, serving as footstools, extra seating, or decorative accents in any room. A standout is the Olivier pouf/bench, which has a sleek metal tubing frame (brushed burnished steel) and a softly padded seat cushion. The Olivier can be upholstered in fabric or leather, or in Flou’s exclusive woven leather option – a luxe crisscross pattern available in single-color or black & white diamond motif. This attention to bespoke upholstery (e.g. a two-tone hand-woven leather cover) elevates the piece from a simple footstool to a statement of craftsmanship. Flou markets the Olivier pouf as “a luxurious alternative to the traditional seat or stool,” ideal for use at a vanity or next to a sofa. Another innovative design is the Iko bench and pouf. The Iko bench is cleverly designed with a lift-up seat that conceals a generous storage compartment – perfect for stowing pillows, blankets or linens at the foot of the bed. Despite this functionality, it maintains a chic look, with removable covers in fabric or leather to match the bedroom decor. The matching Iko round pouf is compact and useful throughout the home, working equally well in a walk-in closet, living room or bedroom as an extra seat. Overall, Flou’s ottomans and benches prioritize comfort (plush cushioning), elegance, and utility. They seamlessly coordinate with Flou’s sofas and beds, often using the same premium upholstery, which means you can create a cohesive look. Whether used as a foot stool by a reading chair or as a standalone cocktail ottoman, these pieces embody Flou’s marriage of style and comfort in every detail.
