BACHI - Кожаное кресло

Bachi is an armchair upholstered in leather or fabric with a structure in multilayer wood and solid fir.‎ The seat and backrest consist of two independent elements padded in polyurethane and Memory Foam®, folded and shaped to create an enveloping form inspired by silkworm cocoons.‎ The two parts are joined by a metal base with feet that enhances stability and seating comfort.‎ Visionnaire reactivates its historical archive, reintroducing into the collection two iconic 1970s armchairs by its parent company IPE, displayed in the Wunderkammer inside the showroom in Piazza Cavour.‎ Under the sign of Déjà-vu, the project reawakens a historical lexicon, reaffirming its contemporary relevance and continuity of identity.‎ Bachi and Cigno — reissued through a technical update that is almost invisible yet substantial — reveal themselves as forms already contemporary.‎ Their proportions, enveloping lines and immersive concept of comfort express a sensibility capable of transcending time.‎ With Déjà-vu, the archive becomes a tool for research and design, able to nourish the present through an active memory.‎ The Bachi armchair originated in the 1960s from a playful and free approach to design, characteristic of the most experimental phase of Italian design.‎ Its fluid lines and unconventional volumes reflect the period’s interest in formal exploration and innovation in furniture.‎ Conceptually, Bachi represents two cushions folded onto themselves and brought together: one positioned vertically to form the backrest, the other horizontally to create the seat, generating a soft, enveloping volume.‎ This design translates the simple, playful gesture of folding and overlapping into an organic, sculptural language.‎ In the 1960s, the possibilities offered by polyether foams were limited; today, the original construction system has been reinterpreted with contemporary materials, preserving the precision of its shaping and the generosity of its volumes.‎ The design incorporates materials and colors typical of the era: textured fabrics, vibrant palettes, and bold surfaces that enhance the three-dimensional quality of the seat.‎ Revisited today, the armchair retains its stylistic coherence and expressive strength, demonstrating how a historical classic can engage in dialogue with contemporary interiors.‎ 1960 design by Vittorio Varo / Re-edition 2026 design by La Conca.‎ Further info from manufacturer on BACHI Visionnaire
