The Bobo Sofa, designed by Cini Boeri for Arflex, is a landmark piece that defined the Italian radical design movement of the late 1960s. It represents a significant technological and conceptual leap in modern furniture history. The Bobo's revolutionary concept lies in the complete elimination of a rigid internal frame. Boeri engineered the entire seating element from a single, shaped block of polyurethane foam with differentiated density. This innovative structural foam is moulded into an anatomical form, making the material itself the structure, the form, and the comfort layer. The result is a striking, continuous silhouette characterized by soft, organic shapes. This pure, inviting form contrasts sharply with traditional seating. The monobloc construction provides a deep, yielding comfort that encourages informal, relaxed postures. Upholstered in premium Arflex fabrics, the covers are fully removable for practical maintenance. The Bobo Sofa is celebrated as one of the earliest and most successful examples of frameless seating, cementing Cini Boeri's pioneering role in furniture design.
