LUI 5/A Gold Leaf Double Cane Armchair composed of Pentagons by Bestenheider

About the Item

Lui 5 by Philippe Bestenheider stands within the iconic pieces Fratelli Boffi has presented throughout the years. A classic in its kind, the wooden chair is characterized by a Viennese straw seat, typical of the early 1900s. Through a revisit and a futuristic look, traditional work techniques are practiced with faithfulness and mastery. The curved and soft shapes of the original model leave room to more simplified and crystalline shapes that multiply in space. The pentagonal shape thereby becomes a unit of measurement of the structure and is repeated obsessively, starting from the leg section and following into the panel construction that create the seat, back and armrests. LUI 5/A double cane armchair in gold leaf finish.Indulge in timeless elegance with Lui 5 by Philippe Bestenheider—an iconic piece that stands as a testament to Fratelli Boffi's legacy of exceptional craftsmanship. This wooden chair, a classic reimagined, features a Viennese straw seat, reminiscent of the early 1900s, yet with a futuristic twist. With unwavering faithfulness and mastery, traditional work techniques are revisited and applied to create a piece that seamlessly marries the past with the future. The chair's original curved and soft shapes have been transformed into simplified and crystalline forms that gracefully multiply in space. The pentagonal shape emerges as a unit of measurement, obsessively repeated from the leg section to the panel construction, crafting the seat, back, and armrests with precision and artistry. Lui 5/A, a double cane armchair, exudes opulence with its gold leaf finish, adding a touch of luxury to its timeless design.
