Boborelax Armchair
Bobo, designed by Cini Boeri in 1967, is one of the first examples of a single-block bench, made exclusively of polyurethane foam, without an internal frame. Boborelax, created from Bobo, and together with it, makes up a curious and unusual family of essential furnishings, an example of pure design, without labels and adjectives. It was, at the time, completely revolutionary, not only for its use of new materials and the absence of a supporting frame, but also and above all for its total unhinging of the dominating taste and its introduction of design and furnishing to an “experimental”.

Cini Boeri
Cini Boeri (1924-2020) graduated in architecture from the Politecnico di Milano in 1951 and worked with Gio Ponti and Marco Zanuso before opening her own studio in 1963. She designed houses, apartments and shops in Italy and abroad, paying close attention to small homes and to the relationship between people and the spaces they live in.
For Arflex she designed the Bobo seat, the Serpentone sofa and the Strips series, which won the Compasso d’Oro in 1979. She also taught at the Politecnico, and her work is held in museums around the world.
