About Bardi’s Bowl Chair
The Bowl Chair designed by the Italian-Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi in 1951 is a semi-spherical seat resting on a metallic ring structure, supported by four legs. The Bowl Chair’s simple form echoes Lina Bo Bardi's love for simple, functional, organic forms and this value, which Arper shares, inspired all her projects.

Arper has tackled the process of industrialisation of the production of Bardi's Bowl Chair for the first time. To Arper, the Bowl Chair has the closest synergy with its design aesthetic and sits comfortably with Arper’s existing range of products. Bardi’s Bowl Chair will only be produced in a limited, numbered edition of just 500.
