Shaggy tales

Fratelli Boffi has shown its wild side

What does the word shaggy mean to you: 1970s animated TV series, the rapper or an extremely long-winded anecdote? For Fratelli Boffi it is an opportunity to be different.

Pemba is a cocoon armchair that embraces the body, enveloping it in a feeling of great softness, a sensation accentuated by the Tibetan lambswool used to give the appearance of fur.

The pyramidal wooden base with bevelled edges and finished in precious bronze-coloured silver leaf connects to a soft and compact upholstered swivel seat. The seat and back have a geometric origin and an angular design, and are upholstered in camel-coloured Mongolian leather that gives the entire armchair a primitive and wild look.

Madama is inspired by the Duchesse of Home model, but presents itself in a smaller, reduced version. The sinuous and feminine shape of the armchair’s seat can be embellished by the Tibetan lambswool upholstery or with laser decorations on the leather covering its back.

The Daina chair, by Nigel Coates, is inspired by the flexibility of the fallow deer, as well as the roundness and grace of the female body, giving it further elegance and lightness. The structure, made of solid wood, folds like a ribbon, creating a stylised profile and holding a soft cushion in the middle covered in Tibetan lambswool. The simplicity and delicateness of this design conceal the complexity of the construction and the refinement of the details.

Clorophilla is a dining chair with a backrest made up of three carved leaves, the legs innervated by thin branches. In this variant, reinterpreted by Lorenza Bozzoli, the structure is made of solid wood and the seat cushion upholstered in lambswool.
