About the Item
Behold the epitome of Italian craftsmanship with our exquisite masterpiece, the Lui 5 by Philippe Bestenheider, a shining star among the iconic creations by Fratelli Boffi. This wooden chair is not just a piece of furniture; it's a timeless classic that pays homage to the elegance of the early 1900s.
Immerse yourself in the allure of tradition and innovation as the Viennese straw seat takes center stage, reminiscent of a bygone era. Philippe Bestenheider's artistic vision breathes new life into this classic, infusing it with a futuristic charm while retaining the meticulous work techniques mastered by generations of craftsmen.
The chair's original curved and soft shapes undergo a mesmerizing transformation, evolving into simplified and crystalline forms that gracefully occupy your space. The pentagonal shape emerges as more than a design element—it becomes a structural unit, repeated obsessively from the leg section to the panel construction shaping the seat, back, and armrests.
Dive into a world where every detail is a testament to faithfulness and mastery, where the shiny mahogany finish adds a touch of opulence. This Italian handmade furniture piece is not just an acquisition; it's an investment in a legacy of artistry that transcends time. Welcome home a symbol of sophistication and craftsmanship with the Lui 5—where tradition meets the future in perfect harmony.
This item has been individually handmade by our master craftsmen. Any irregularities or natural blemishes should not be misconstrued as flaws but as integral elements that make each handmade piece unique.

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.
