International classics with an elegant twist
Designer of Flex
The Milanese design studio Metrica, headed by Lucio Quinzio
Leonelli and Robin Rizzini, brings a touch of Italian flair to Manutti.
Internationally acclaimed for its exclusive mixture of creation
and technical management, the studio’s designs are elegant and
meticulously crafted. The collaboration with Manutti resulted in the
Flex collection, a balancing act between traditional aesthetics and a
unique, elegant shape.

Playful design from the heart
Designer of Sandua
For the Swiss-German designer, Robin Hapelt, great design doesn’t just
have to look good, it should also make people happy. That’s why all of his
pieces exude contrast and humour. Hapelt is now residing in Southeast
Asia, which he calls “a very exciting and inspiring part of the world.” Much
of his work reflects the Asian culture, particularly his use of Oriental
weaving techniques and materials like rattan and bamboo. He makes his
debut designing for Manutti with the ethnic-inspired Sandua collection,
for which he spent many hours experimenting himself with different
weaving patterns and techniques.
