Description
Designed for GUBI by Michele De Lucchi’s AMDL Circle, Bistra is a sculptural furniture collection that distillates the classic bistro chair to its essential shape, finding elegance and timelessness in its main structural elements. This formal reduction work highlights the strength of minimal design, where each line, each curve, finds its place with precision and poetry. Composed of a dining chair, a chaise longue and a three-legged stool, the collection is rooted in its main material: steam-curved rattan. This natural material, flexible and resistant, is worked according to traditional artisanal techniques that allow to reveal all the expressive richness. It gives the whole a warm and organic presence. Its visual language is inspired by the idea of organic growth, expressed in the arborescent contours of the legs, arms and backrest, and echoed in the custom-designed padding, which features a botanical pattern inspired by a fresco by Leonardo da Vinci. The aesthetics of Bistra thus evoke the plant world, as if each piece took root in space. The textile pattern adds an artistic and narrative dimension, reinforcing the link between nature, art and design. Available in three frame colors and several fabrics, Bistra is a versatile seating collection that blends artisanal traditions of furniture making with exquisite contemporary craftsmanship. It adapts elegantly to a variety of environments, from residential interiors to public spaces, and embodies a vision of design where craftsmanship and contemporary creativity dialogue with subtlety.
