A life-long collaborator with Arflex, Cini Boeri designed the Botolo armchair in 1973 giving life to a new style of design where you could choose the height of the legs. Designed with both low and high seat options, the collection was guided by research and functionality. Boeri worked in the studios of Gio Ponti, then Marco Zanuso, where the designer built on the modernist philosophy for essentiality and cleanliness of forms, and the functionality of the project over aesthetics. Flexibility and expandability, experimentation with materials and seating compositions have shaped Boeri’s highly innovative collections that are as fresh today as they were when they first launched 50 years ago.
