The foundation of Flou, which took place in 1978, was based on the goal of manufacturing beds of high intrinsic and formal quality, combined with the desire to introduce a new ‘sleep culture’. This was a period of great social changes: more women were going out to work, the homes required multi-functional spaces, the desire to live life with greater freedom and higher quality was growing. Therefore, the bedroom became somewhere more dynamic and the bed abandoned its traditional static white aesthetic and started dressing in colors.
