Designed in 1951 by Italian-Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi, the Bardi’s Bowl Chair is a semi-spherical seat resting lightly on a metallic ring structure, supported by four legs. Conceived with an essential frame and universal shape, it harmoniously blends into every environment.
With the Instituto Lina Bo e P.M. Bardi as design partner standing in for the architect, Arper faces the industrialization process of the Bardi’s Bowl Chair with a creative approach, balancing the interpretation of the original design with contemporary advancements in technique and manufacturing, in order to reflect Bo Bardi’s original vision and to meet the abilities and advantages of industrial production.
“In doing this, we wish to give the Bowl Chair and Lina’s way of thinking a future. The limited edition creates a link between the past and the future.”
