About the Item
Introducing Lui 5 designed by Philippe Bestenheider—a timeless piece that graces our curated collection of hand-made Italian products.
This wooden armchair, a classic reimagined, features a Viennese straw seat reminiscent of the early 1900s, combining tradition with a futuristic vision. Traditional work techniques are practiced with unwavering faithfulness and mastery, breathing new life into the age-old craft. The chair's original curved and soft shapes gracefully evolve into simplified and crystalline forms, multiplying in space.
The pentagonal shape becomes a unit of measurement, obsessively repeated from the leg section to the panel construction, shaping the seat, back, and armrests with precision. Finished in a matt black lacquer, adorned with double natural cane, Lui 5 exudes modern sophistication while paying homage to the rich history of design.
Explore our curated collection and bring home Lui 5—a chair that transcends eras, embodying the perfect fusion of tradition and innovation. Elevate your space with this iconic piece, where meticulous craftsmanship meets contemporary allure in a symphony of design excellence.

Fratelli Boffi
Fratelli Boffi is an Italian furniture maker with a rich history of manufacturing excellence and whimsical design. The company's armchairs, side tables and cabinets feature high-end yet playful modern and Baroque-inspired silhouettes. Each piece contains at least one delightfully surprising element, whether it’s an unconventional shape or a bold color combination.
Artist and woodworker Carlo Boffi established Fratelli Boffi in 1928. Boffi had come to fame in the 1920s for carving exquisite chairs in the Louis XV and Louis XVI styles. He opened a furniture factory in Brianza, where he took commissions from all over Italy. In 1953, the company was passed down to Boffi's sons, Federico, Roberto and Michele. The second Boffi generation continued to run a successful business and even opened a new factory in Lentate sul Seveso.
In the 1980s, Fratelli Boffi took an avante-garde direction thanks to collaborative projects with Italian nonconformist architect and designer Aldo Cibic. The company became known for making furniture in sculptural, eye-catching shapes. The ornate bases of Fratelli Boffi coffee tables and its architectural sofas are excellent examples.
In the 2000s, Fratelli Boffi embarked on numerous collaborations with other celebrated designers. Each year, the company presents new and exciting collections by names like Marc Krusin, Christophe de la Fontaine, Nigel Coates, Giopato & Coombes, Philippe Bestenheider and Ferruccio Laviani.
Today, Fratelli Boffi operates a major contracting division that has been involved in prestigious hotel, office and residential projects around the world. Cibic continues to use Fratelli Boffi furniture in his home designs, as do New York–based designers Greg Dufner and Daniel Heighes Wismer.
