Archimede, the star chair in Riflessi’s urban oasis for Design Week 2026

At Milan Design Week 2026, Riflessi’s Milan showroom has been transformed into an immersive environment capable of redefining the way we inhabit our domestic interiors. “Urban Oasis”, a project by Bruno Tarsia, explores contemporary living through a delicate balance between nature and architecture.

An urban oasis where design slows down time

The installation features a suspended landscape composed of delicate backdrops, textured materials, and neutral tones. Warm light, filtered through vertical elements, defines the space with a measured rhythm, while the suspended floral arrangements add an ethereal, almost meditative dimension.

The product becomes part of the landscape

Within this spatial narrative, Riflessi’s collections do not simply occupy the space—they define it. Tables, seating, and accessories engage in a dialogue with the installation, becoming an integral part of a cohesive system.

Archimede: a graphic line that defines an identity

Designed by CarlesiTonelli Studio, the Archimede chair is based on a specific idea: striking a balance between formal rigor and comfort. Its strength lies in the clarity of its line.

Its silhouette is sleek and pared down. Slender legs lighten the structure, while the backrest introduces a distinctive element: a “V”-shaped opening. This bold graphic gesture defines the chair’s character and makes it instantly recognizable, even from a distance. 

This detail is not merely aesthetic. It balances solids and voids, structure and comfort. The result is a chair that is both discreet and striking.

Materials and craftsmanship: quality as language

Archimede expresses Riflessi’s design culture through a strong focus on materials. Each version offers a different take on the same project:

  • Next-generation leather or fabric: guarantee superior comfort and advanced performance, also ideal in contract settings
  • Leather: introduces a more authentic, tactile look that evolves over time
  • Woven nautical rope: visually lightens the chair, creating a fascinating interplay of transparency

This variety is not merely aesthetic. It allows Archimede to adapt to various settings, while maintaining a consistent design language.

Customization and versatility

Archimede is conceived as a design platform—a solid foundation that is open to multiple interpretations.

The collection spans different typologies—a chair, an armchair, a stool—designed to meet a range of needs. From the domestic dining area to hospitality settings, it maintains its identity without compromising flexibility.

The ability to choose finishes and upholsteries allows for the creation of tailored environments—increasingly important in contemporary design.

Meticulous attention to detail, research into materials, and a consistent design language coalesce into a range focused on people. It’s not merely a question of aesthetics, but of the quality of the experience.

Design becomes an instrument for improving our everyday lives, creating spaces that emphasize balance and wellbeing.
