The Boe Bebop lounge chair is the newest collaboration between textile artist Hiroko Takeda and Studio Paolo Ferrari’s furniture design, resulting in a body of work that blurs the lines between functionalism and artistry. In early discussions between Ferrari and Takeda, the creators considered expressing textile as structure, with the concept evolving into an exploration of the painterly, inspired by the work of Milton Avery. In Boe Bebop, Takeda combined the lyrical geometry of Avery’s landscapes with the Japanese tradition of Boro patchwork.
