Easy chair BOHEMIAN 72 Chevron Outdoor 002 GUBI

Created in 1972, the Bohemian 72 collection combines Gabriella Crespi's interest in natural materials, her fascination with sculptural forms and her curiosity about Eastern cultures and philosophies. During her lifetime, these exclusive pieces were produced solely for private clients, but now, 50 years after their design, Gubi has taken Crespi's original drawings and produced this collection for the first time. Comprising an armchair, a 3-seater sofa, a pouffe and a lamp, the Bohemian 72 collection embodies Gabriella Crespi's lifelong goal of creating furniture that harmoniously unites indoor and outdoor living. Attracted to rattan for its strength and versatility, she designed these pieces at a time when rattan was very much in vogue. However, her approach to working with it was unusual for the time. Recreating the original design of these pieces required a high level of craftsmanship, as rattan is a natural material that is difficult to standardise. The colour, texture and dimensions easily differ from one plant to another. For all four pieces, the rattan is finished with an antique stain and a glossy varnish to ensure a consistent appearance and warm texture. Each Bohemian 72 seat is topped with a soft cushion that perfectly follows the curves of the rattan structure. Both elegant and very soft, the cushions add cosy comfort to the collection.
