Lui 5/A by Fratelli Boffi is a designer wooden armchair with a Vienna straw seat, designed by Philippe Bestenheider in 2009. It reinterprets an early twentieth-century seat: the craftsmanship remains faithful to tradition, while the curved shapes of the original give way to simplified lines and crystallised volumes.
The pentagon as a unit of measurement
In the Lui 5/A armchair, the pentagonal shape becomes the unit of measurement for the entire structure and is insistently repeated, from the cross-section of the legs to the panels that make up the seat, backrest and armrests. The Lui collection reinterprets early twentieth-century European design with geometric shapes and simplified lines, with an almost futurist character. Philippe Bestenheider, born in Sion in 1971, graduated in Architecture from ETH Zurich and earned a master’s degree in Industrial Design at the Domus Academy in Milan; his style combines Italian creativity with Swiss rigour. Fratelli Boffi was founded in 1928 in Lentate sul Seveso, in Brianza, from the cabinetmaking and carving tradition started by Luigi Boffi in the early twentieth century, and reinterprets classic style with irony and eclecticism.
