About the Item
Introducing a timeless classic with a contemporary twist—the wooden chair that pays homage to the early 1900s, showcasing the iconic Wien straw seat in a modern light. This chair is not just a piece of furniture; it's a reinterpretation of tradition, where classic techniques are executed with unwavering fidelity and mastery, bringing a touch of the future to the past.
Through a visionary lens, the traditional curved and soft shapes of the original model have evolved into simplified and crystalline forms that elegantly multiply in space. The pentagonal shape takes center stage, becoming the fundamental unit of measurement for the entire structure. This geometric motif is meticulously repeated, from the leg section to the panel construction that forms the seat, back, and armrests.
In a captivating lead leaf finish (also available in gold leaf and silver leaf), this chair is a masterpiece that effortlessly blends the richness of tradition with the sleekness of modern design. The single cane weaving adds an element of craftsmanship, enhancing the chair's visual appeal and providing a touch of organic warmth.

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.
