Bistra Dining Armchair

$1,499

Designed for GUBI by Michele De Lucchi’s architecture practice, AMDL CIRCLE, Bistra is a sculptural furniture collection that distills the classic bistro chair to its essential form, finding elegance and timelessness in its core structural elements. Comprising a dining armchair, a lounge chair, and a three-legged stool, the collection is rooted in its principal material: steam-bent rattan. Its visual language draws from the idea of organic growth, expressed in the tree-like contours of the legs, arms, and backrest, and echoed in the custom-designed upholstery, which features a botanical motif inspired by a Leonardo da Vinci fresco. Available in three frame colors and multiple upholstery fabrics, Bistra is a versatile seating collection that blends artisanal furniture-making traditions with exquisite contemporary craftsmanship.
