Birky
Chair / by Gabriele and Oscar Buratti
Birky reflects a pure design approach in both form and detail. Its gentle, measured lines convey a quiet beauty that integrates naturally into any space. Discreet yet unmistably distinctive - never overwhelming - this seating collection embodies refined elegance through simplicity with a noble and harmonious spirit.
Feminine archetype
A quiet protagonist of contemporary living, the Birky chair inhabits space with effortless harmony.
Its soft lines and rounded forms—available in both armchair and armless versions—merge into a delicate design that evokes the graceful curve of a woman’s back. Every contour is thoughtfully shaped to provide maximum comfort and ease, whether during a long meeting or an intimate dinner.
Birky is a tribute to femininity and understated sophistication—a timeless style celebrated for its quiet elegance. Even its name pays homage to Jane Mallory Birkin, whose unmistakable flair inspired one of the most iconic fashion accessories of all time.
Birky’s refined character is revealed in its details, such as the exposed zipper—a nod to the world of haute couture and leather craftsmanship—that accentuates the geometry of the seat and backrest.
Signature style
“We like to design timeless objects made to last—defined by elegance and refinement, without ever raising their voice.” With these words, Gabriele and Oscar Buratti capture the essence of Birky, a chair that embodies quiet elegance.
Their intent was clear: to create a chair that is not only beautiful and exceptionally refined, but also sincere and inviting. A piece that is easy to understand, effortless to live with, and versatile enough to adapt to various settings—able to interact harmoniously with other furnishings while always retaining its own identity. From this vision arise the sculpted line of the backrest, the gentle curve of the armrests, and the refined attention to detail.
Birky is crafted with coherence, sharing components between the chair and armchair versions. The seat, the core element, supports the backrest, while the slender legs—either gently tapered or featuring a star-shaped base—lift the structure with a sense of lightness. It is a chair that invites calm and the pleasure of pause—a graceful presence that enhances any space.
