The late Italian-Brazilian architect and designer Lina Bo Bardi reclines in the semi-spherical 'Bowl Chair' she designed in 1951

Arper自1951年创建以来，首次将Lina Bo Bardi的碗椅投入生产。这位意大利-巴西建筑师的设计开创了一种更为轻松的坐姿方式，这是当时最激进的设计。这张重新发行的椅子-在去年的“独角戏”(Sonedel Mobile)期间在米兰展出(并在“墙纸”2013年7月号上作了预演)-是她愿景的重要证明。

意大利家具品牌分享了设计师的使命，把人放在她的项目的中心，她的想法是“人是建筑的最终目标”。

在她的作品中，波·巴迪打算引入一种灵活的方法来接近物体-一种适应人的椅子，而不是相反的方式。这位设计师在谈到她的创作时写道：“这款家具的创新之处在于，椅子可以实现四面八方的运动，没有任何机械手段，只是因为它的球形形状。”

它是一个生活的椅子，而不仅仅是坐在那里，人类再次成为设计师思维的中心。

在限量版的500件（订购室内装潢包括一个黑色皮革和7个织物选项，以及由Arper公司与巴西纺织设计师DaniMoura合作开发的图案中的垫子的选择），从椅子销售所得收益的一部分将投资于LinaBoP.M。
巴迪的社会文化项目。

Resting on a metalic ring structure, supported by four legs, the chair can be swivelled into different positions for maximum comfort

The canvas pack handed out at the launch of the chair in Arper's London store opened up to reveal original design sketches and archive images of the chair, as well as pictures of the newly produced version

Bo Bardi pioneered a more relaxed approach to seating, allowing natural postures. ‘What is new in this piece of furniture, what is absolutely new, is the fact that the chair can achieve movement from all sides, with no mechanic means whatsoever, only due to its spherical form. There are no other pieces of furniture of this kind,’ Lina wrote about her Bowl Chair

The chair in the making

Arper worked closely with the Instituto Lina Bo e P. M. Bardi to ensure that the new chairs remained faithful to the original

In addition to this black leather version, the Bowl Chair is available in seven fabric colour options. Each colour option comes with three different sets of cushions to choose from, including a set of one-colour cushions to match the colour of the shell, two-colour cushions or a pair of patterned cushions inspired by Lina Bo Bardi's original sketches

A selection of cushions for the chairs in patterns inspired by original Bo Bardi sketches have been developed by Arper in collaboration with Brazilian textile designer Dani Moura
