Bull Armchair

The Bonaldo Bull armchair is a masterclass in contrasts—where strength meets softness, and sculptural rigidity is balanced by welcoming comfort. Designed to challenge traditional definitions of lounge seating, Bull brings together bold form and graceful function, resulting in a piece that’s equally architectural and inviting.

At the heart of Bull’s design is its distinctive three-legged solid wood frame—a daring structural element that speaks of stability and strength. The triangular base, rare in contemporary furniture, adds an unexpected visual rhythm and elevates the piece into something far beyond standard seating. The geometry creates a grounded presence, but one that feels deliberate rather than bulky, providing both support and visual intrigue.

Contrasting with this assertive base is the soft, elliptical tubular element that flows continuously from the backrest into the armrests, wrapping the seated user in a fluid, organic embrace. This seamless curve softens the frame’s assertiveness and gives the chair its signature silhouette—a gentle, sculptural line that feels both modern and timeless.

Resting on this enveloping form is the plush backrest cushion, which introduces a note of comfort and informality. Generously padded yet visually light, the cushion turns the rigid frame into a place of rest. It invites the body to recline, to read, to relax—and to stay a little longer. This delicate interplay between structure and softness is what defines the Bull armchair: two opposing forces, merged into one harmonious whole.

The circular seat adds another layer of design balance, anchoring the flowing lines above it. It works as both a physical counterpoint and a geometric contrast, contributing to the chair’s compositional equilibrium. From every angle, Bull appears cohesive and complete—thoughtful down to its smallest intersection.

But form never trumps function. The Bull armchair is designed with real-world versatility in mind. It fits effortlessly into a sophisticated living room, next to a modular sofa or low-profile coffee table. Used alone, it shines as a reading nook chair or a statement piece in a bedroom. And in pairs, Bull transforms a quiet corner into a curated conversation area. This adaptability makes it a favorite for both residential and boutique hospitality environments, where design and comfort must coexist seamlessly.

Upholstery options include rich fabrics, refined leathers, and customizable combinations to suit a range of interior aesthetics—from soft minimalist palettes to bold, high-contrast decor schemes. The wooden frame, available in several finishes, can be selected to complement or contrast with the upholstery, depending on the mood of the space.

Despite its artistic appearance, the Bull armchair is built with Bonaldo’s renowned attention to craftsmanship and durability. The wood frame is engineered to provide long-lasting support, while the cushions are designed for everyday use—resilient, plush, and resistant to wear.

In a world of repetitive forms and generic lounge chairs, the Bonaldo Bull armchair stands apart. It tells a story—not just of design, but of duality and balance. It is at once strong and gentle, static and flowing, restrained and expressive. It doesn’t shout, but it leaves a lasting impression.

Perfect for design-conscious homeowners, architects, or stylists looking to introduce a piece with character, poise, and comfort, the Bull armchair is a bold gesture made intimate. It doesn’t just fit the room—it defines it.
