Created by Lina Bo Bardi (1914-1992), the distinctive design of the Bowl Chair has earned its place in furniture history. Born in Italy, Bo Bardi moved to Brazil, which later became her adopted home. Designed in 1951, this classic piece sought a balance between industrial production, standardized goods and individual aesthetics.
Distinctive Bardi’s Bowl Chair design: the story continues
Mid-century design, combined with a contemporary color palette, becomes a striking detail for living rooms and office spaces. The Bowl Chair design adapts to different settings and integrates easily with modern styles. The idea is simple yet ingenious: a flexible structure gives the user freedom, making it possible to find the most comfortable seating position. The fabric-upholstered chairs have four sections and four support points, while the black natural-leather version has eight sections and eight points.

Bardi’s Bowl Chair shells are upholstered in special Steelcut Trio fabric, with chair and cushion versions available for Arper in vibrant colors. Several lively combinations are offered: pink, lavender and orange act as cheerful accents, while aqua blue, emerald green and olive bring a natural tone into the home.
