One of these succulent design berries is the futuristic Bardi’s Bowl Chair. Designed in 1951, it looks like a piece from the latest Furniture Fair: a hemispherical seat simply sitting on a metal ring structure and supported on four legs. Initially it was part of the furniture made exclusively for the house, but now it is being issued for the first time by Arper. The chair’s production programme has been organised around a limited and numbered series of 500 pieces, intended for cultural and museum spaces, and it was conceived in close collaboration with the São Paulo-based institute.
