Bosco

Overview

Bosco is a swivel armchair by Naoto Fukasawa, listed under 2026 on the maker's datasheet. Molteni&C's page opens by describing "an armchair that invites the body to let go", with a soft silhouette and subtly divided contours, and a matching footstool is shown with it.

Construction

The seat is built around a metal frame with variable-density padding, according to the page, and subtle stitching runs along the sides. The upholstery wraps the armchair completely. Below it sits a swivelling metal base, a round disc with a central supporting column.

A form that lets the body settle

Molteni&C writes that Bosco was inspired by the gentle hills of Tuscany and that its soft silhouette and subtly divided contours echo the rhythms of the landscape. In a line the page attributes to Fukasawa, the soft, generous volume is a place where the body sinks in naturally, as if resting on warm, yielding earth.

Continuity and calm

The page says the design favours continuity, shaping a compact silhouette that feels stable, protective and calm within the space. The datasheet credits the armchair with a character of its own, cheerful but restrained and at ease in its surroundings, and says that with the footstool it radiates serenity.
