Bohemian 72 Sofa
Design by Gabriella CrespiComprising a lounge chair, three-seater sofa, ottoman and floor lamp – all crafted from rattan – the Bohemian 72 Collection embodies Crespi’s career-long aim to create furniture that seamlessly unites indoor and outdoor living. She never allowed curtains or screens to block the natural flow of light or air and had what her daughter has described as ‘a deep sentiment for the cosmic energy of nature’.
The Bohemian ‘72 Collection brings together Gabriella Crespi’s interest in natural materials, her fascination with stacked sculptural forms, and her curiosity about Eastern cultures and philosophies, honed over years of travel. During her lifetime, these exclusive pieces were only ever produced for private clients, but today, 50 years after they were first conceived, in the year she would have turned 100, GUBI has worked from Crespi’s original drawings to bring an extraordinary collection of iconic furniture designs into production for the first time.
