Elliptic Armchair
Elliptic Armchair, Bonacina
A sculptural study in rattan craftsmanship, the Elliptic Armchair by Bonacina is defined by its signature concentric curves that sweep from base to backrest in one fluid, architectural movement. Lightweight yet deeply enveloping, it brings character and timeless tactility to any outdoor setting.

The Elliptic Armchair by Bonacina, available through Niche, is a striking outdoor piece that balances sculptural boldness with considered comfort. Designed as part of Bonacina’s iconic contemporary collection, the chair reflects a masterful interpretation of rattan craftsmanship, reimagined through a distinctly architectural lens.
Its signature silhouette is defined by a series of concentric curved lines that sweep from the base up through the arms and into a deep, enveloping backrest — creating a form that feels both geometric and organic. The open rattan framework gives the piece a remarkable sense of lightness while adding rhythm and visual depth. Every curve is intentional — from the layered arches that wrap the body to the structured base that grounds it with quiet confidence.
Crafted for outdoor environments, the Elliptic Armchair combines the natural resilience of rattan with understated sophistication. Its dark, refined finish pairs beautifully with outdoor surroundings, whether placed on a shaded terrace, a garden lounge, or a poolside retreat. A slim cushioned seat provides comfort while preserving the chair’s clean, graphic profile.
More than simply outdoor seating, the Elliptic Armchair is designed as a statement piece — one that quietly anchors a space with character and craftsmanship. It embodies Niche’s curatorial approach to design: timeless, tactile, and thoughtfully selected for moments of relaxation outdoors.
