Almora

Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien

Almora is a revolving chair named after the Indian region that offers a breath-taking view of the Himalayas and, quoting its designers, it longs to be “a haven from the world, a place for contemplation and reading from where one can admire magnificent snow-capped peaks. As protective as a second skin, enveloping like a soft blanket”.

Apollo

Antonio Citterio

An in-line sofa, curved sofa, terminal elements or chaise longue, a dormeuse and a swivel armchair: these are the elements making up this seating collection with a distinctive personality. Each is marked by curved yet rigorous forms, creating a very harmonious and balanced aesthetic. The backrest design, generous seat depth, anatomical shapes and soft padding are all elements that make Apollo extremely welcoming and comfortable. The rich selection of upholstery includes a wide range of fine fabrics and leathers. The fabric covers are further embellished with relief stitching, while the leather ones feature elegant “envelope” stitching. The frame is defined by a painted aluminium edge available in a range of sophisticated colour

Atoll

Antonio Citterio

The latest addition to the B&B Atoll seating range is this new small armchair. Agile and elevated in design, its thin metal legs evoke the style of the sofa and are ideally complemented by the characteristic shape of the cushions, which harmonise linearity with softness. The backrest and seat are characterised by two soft cushions that rest on a slightly inclined frame, providing the ideal balance between comfort and functionality.

Ayana

Naoto Fukasawa

Minimalist and innovative, the Ayana collection becomes a new chapter in the story that connects B&B Italia to Naoto Fukasawa. It sees wood as the protagonist, interpreted in an unusual way, witha pleasant oriental touch. If the depths and heights are a clear reference to the south-east Asian tradition, the backrest recalls a Swedish wall bar, an exercise equipment turned into a load-bearing element. Thanks to this solution, the elements of the Ayana collection can be enjoyed and appreciated at 360 degrees, discovering on each side a new elegant interplay of intersections and proportions. Two and three seat sofas and the armchair have armrests at different heights. The armchair armrest is higher to guarantee a more ergonomic seat. The sofa armrest, which is lower, can be combined with a cushion that is easy to be fastened and removed, and helps to lie down more comfortably if necessary. The upholstery of this collection stands out for the individual cushions, all covered with waterproof fabrics. Ayana’s warm minimalism is completed with a chair, a dining table and a low table. The dining chair recalls the stylistic features of the other seats, for a perfect family feeling, with the structure in natural teak wood and two generously padded cushions covered in fabric. The table stands out for its oval top in serpentine, a typical stone of the Alps. The supporting structure in natural teak appears light but is extremely robust, able to resist weather and support the heavy top. Even the coffee table has a round section structure in natural teak, with a top in serpentine. Its broad dimensions allow to create a pleasant convivial atmosphere in outdoor settings. Ayana is a project with a green soul. The teak used to make the structures is FSC certified (Forest Stewardship Council) and all the materials that make up the various elements of the series, at the end of the product’s life cycle, can be separated and disposed of with respect for the environment.

Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien

Canasta

Patricia Urquiola

Vienna straw, with its geometric decorative pattern, is the inspiration behind Canasta, the Spanish term for basket. Enlarged to macro proportions, the design is applied to armchairs with a striking effect, available with a high or low backrest. Both are characterised by polyethylene fibre ribbons woven onto a powder-coated aluminium frame. Classic in style but with a contemporary sense of plasticity, Canasta is a hyper-decorative collection, ideal for use at the edge of a swimming pool or in a luxuriant garden. In addition to armchairs, the family also includes sofas, tables, small tables, and other furnishings.

Canasta ’13

Patricia Urquiola

Canasta ’13 by Patricia Urquiola is given a tortora melange makeover with the new polyethylene fibre, creating an interlacing that evokes the designer’s Crinoline collection. The sofas, armchairs and small armchairs all feature new fabrics and are accompanied by small tables that harmonise with the new colours.

Caratos

Antonio Citterio

The Caratos range has grown and is ever expanding – providing a rich collection of ideas for the most diverse environments. The common thread of each piece is their recognisable die-cast aluminium base. In addition to the chairs and armchairs presented in 2017, Caratos presents a small armchair with armrest, an armchair, a tub armchair, two stools with swivel seats, a bench, an ottoman and a coffee table. The graphite and amber metal frames are accompanied by blue, amaranth, and cream painting, which complement the fabric covers. Noteworthy is the introduction of a soft, deep pile wool velvet that creates a “teddy bear” effect. With this new collection, Caratos proves to be a group of flexible products that will reveal new future surprises.

Caratos

Antonio Citterio

The Caratos ottomans are versatile furnishings that adapt to a vast range of furnishing styles and contexts. They stand out for their openly contemporary nature and for the detail on the base, which recurs throughout the entire Caratos collection: an iconic frame with slender die-cast aluminium legs available in a range of finishes. The ottomans are available with or without the seat cushion and upholstered either in fabric or in leather.

Charles Outdoor

Antonio Citterio

The Charles Outdoor armchair, part of the homonymous series of outdoor seating, maintains the characteristics that have made the Charles indoor seating system a classic with a decidedly contemporary taste. Indeed, the system features the same slim frame, flexibility and signature design of the inverted “L” shaped feet. With its rigorous, timeless aesthetic, it stands out for its surface created by an open interlacing polypropylene ribbon.

Clio

Antonio Citterio

The Clio armchair is characterised by a light but solid frame in solid wood available in different finishes. The backrest echoes the same finishes as the frame and can be covered in leather or fabric or with natural cellulose rope interlacing.

Coronado

Afra and Tobia Scarpa

The evergreen Coronado sofa is the quintessential symbol of relaxation. It comfort is guaranteed by a suspension system made from harmonic steel bands inserted into the structure of the back. The product’s aesthetics, conceived as a trait-d’union between period furniture and the growing desire for modernity, has decreed its success over time. Its revolutionary personality in terms of design and of materials offers a prime example of B&B Italia’s industrial culture.

Crinoline

Patricia Urquiola

With its enveloping, feminine lines, Crinoline is a series of outdoor seats whose very name echoes romantic nineteenth-century ladies’ skirts. The armchair with a high backrest is characterised by a wide hollow base, also echoed in the seat and in the curvature of the back. It comes in two versions: with a polyethylene fibre interlacing or in two colours of abaca for base and seat. The backrest of high armchair is made even more precious and romantic by a floral interlacing motif. The small armchair is characterised by a curved double shell silhouette with polyethylene fibre interlacing. The seat cushion is upholstered in a wide range of outdoor fabrics. The Crinoline series also includes small armchairs, chairs and stools.

Do-Maru

Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien

The small armchair Do-Maru is named after the ancient armour worn by samurai warriors, made up of painted and decorated thick leather plates that covered and protected the hero’s body. Like the swivel armchair Almora, designed by Doshi-Levien in 2014, once again the shell of the seat is made up of a couple of superimposed bodies, softened by paddings that can be upholstered with either fabric or leather. The cast aluminium back support boldly underlines the conical profile of the small armchair, while the anterior support is in tubular metal with black chromed or pewter painted finishes, studied to match the colours of the body: white, black and tortora.

Fat-Sofa

Patricia Urquiola

Round, soft and sinuous shapes: this series of floor-standing seats without a metal base offers a new expression of comfort. The double-colour versions and those that mix leather and fabric are original with horizontal and vertical surfaces establishing a dialogue with each other through nuances of shades or with stronger contrasts. Once again in B&B Italia’s history a product merges original shapes and technological innovation which, in this case, are represented by the use of slow-return viscoelastic foam that gradually adapts itself to the body and its posture.

Fat-Sofa Outdoor

Patricia Urquiola

The rounded, soft and sinuous shapes of the Fat-Sofa seating system are the base for the new outdoor version , characterized by a brand new interlacing design. Its fully padded seat is accompanied by a metal frame backrest that supports the original weave, creating a special play of fullness and emptiness. The large weave pattern, made of tortora coloured twisted polyethylene fibres, makes the design unique, respecting the designer’s idea of lightness, transparency and puts the furnishings in an open “dialogue” with the surrounding environment. Fat-Sofa Outdoor consists of six types, ranging from two height variants of the armchair, from the linear sofa to a large relax island, to a range of different sizes of ottomans.

Febo

Antonio Citterio

Fulgens

Antonio Citterio

To the small armchair Fulgens, which has the vocation of a unique piece, able to sit next to a traditional sofa, has been added the new chair with armrests. In two finishes, shellac lacquered or in wood, which expresses the idea of handcrafted excellence. Stylistically, the piece evokes classic thonet pieces without oriental overtones, confirmed by the silky hand of the wood. The seat-back shell, externally shellac lacquered, is internally upholstered and covered in leather or fabric.

George

Antonio Citterio

The collection has two armchair sizes and two and three seater sofas. The new sofa George for the Project Collection is a derivative of the classic product originally created by Antonio Citterio in 2001. For the contract office market the product has been revised with fuller cushions both seat and back that create an elegant and comfortable seating range with a higher formal seat height.

Gio

Antonio Citterio

Gio, designed by Antonio Citterio, is the new series with a contemporary classic accent dedicated to living in the open air. A complete range of sofas, end units, chaise longue, sunbeds, armchairs, chairs, tables and complements which have been developed from solid teak structures with a special antique grey finish, which gives the wood a particular lived-in aspect and silver-grey reflective quality. To ensure a better insulation from the weather, all the padded elements have a polyester cover with waterproof treatment, and the fabrics are certified for resistance to weathering, UV rays, chlorine and sea spray.

Grande Papilio

Naoto Fukasawa

The name recalls the butterfly because, as explained by the author, the backrest designs the two wings with the head resting between them and protected by them. It seems carved out of a block of material from which its inverted truncated cone shape derives. With a powerful personality, its swivel system facilitates contact with the surrounding environment. The chair includes an ottoman footrest for an absolutely relaxing position.

Harbor

Naoto Fukasawa

Naoto Fukasawa continues his research on upside-down truncated cone shaped seats, and, for this project addresses B&B Italia’s need to explore the seating with armrests. Two forms are ergonomically designed and developed to obtain a relaxing easy armchair with a high back and headrest, and a conversation armchair with a low back. Both armchairs have a swivel base and visible metal hinge in the back part that, as with the iconic Papilio series, allow to remove the cover, available in fabric or leather. To these seats are added a third form, an ottoman on top of which a tray element can be supported, allowing complementary use as a small table.

Harbor Laidback

Naoto Fukasawa

Harbor Laidback is a versatile and innovative armchair that redefines the concept of relaxation continuing the tradition of the Harbor armchairs, a classic it shares the origin of the inverted truncated cone shape and the harmonious and flowing line. Equipped with a swivel aluminium base with four spokes, Harbor Laidback has an unprecedented mechanism, perfectly hidden in the frame, that allows the simultaneous movement of the backrest and the seat. To control the movement, all you have to do is operate a lever strategically placed between the cushion and the armrest: once you have reached the most comfortable position, you release the lever and the backrest stops at the desired angle. To increase the feeling of well-being, the seat accompanies the backrest and moves almost unnoticeably. Harbor Laidback also features a height-adjustable upholstered headrest, distinguished by its distinctive counterweight, and can be combined with a cosy matching footrest and a round ottoman with removable wood tray. The upholstery is available in leather or fabric embellished with an elegant saddle stitch that recalls the sophistication of saddlery and underlines the harmony of the shapes. The zip that crosses the backrest is an aesthetic and functional element that once again reveals the harmony with the Harbor family. In terms of form and materials, the identity of Harbor Laidback is born hybrid, adaptable to work environments as well as purely domestic spaces. The calibrated proportions and the height of the top of the seat make Harbor Laidback the ideal place to use a computer or tablet, to have a video call or enjoy a movie, to concentrate on a report or to retreat with a good book.

Harry

Antonio Citterio

Its principal feature, which is comfort, issues from relations between the inclination of backrest and seat, while its unmistakable distinctive trait is the aluminium foot. A small detail that endows a rather traditional product with a genuine modern touch and lightness, which have made it a timeless sofa.

Hollow

Patricia Urquiola

The types originated from this system include an armchair and a small two-seats sofa in two different sizes and a small three-seats sofa in two different sizes..This project is the result of a group of modular panels of different sizes, which can be assembled through hinges to act as back and armrest and hold a soft seats. Blocked and supported by the legs, the entirely upholstered and lined panels display a concave plastic surface on the outside, which visually moves the elements and enhances their effect of lightness.

Husk

Patricia Urquiola

Those who look at a sofa must visually perceive a sense of both mental and physical comfort. Patricia Urquiola has conveyed this concept to the armchair Husk by designing a stiff body made of Hirek that contains a soft cushion divided into portions, which seem to underscore its ergonomic profile. It is endowed with an original spirit that merges with various styles. Three cushion types: standard, which is large and enveloping, or headrest. With our without an ottoman as footrest.

Husk Outdoor

Patricia Urquiola

Comfort and eco-sustainability are the key words for describing the Husk Outdoor chairs. A collection that is a tribute to softness and an invitation to relax thanks to the generous extra soft cushions with a capitonné design.

Imprimatur

Antonio Citterio

Sofa range proposing two different interpretations. The first, more casual solution displays a seat split into two portions and a back with cushions of different sizes. Different coloured cushions are also available if desired. The much more formal second version comes in two widths, with a regular division of seat and back cushions. The line of Imprimatur sofas is completed by two armchairs with different back heights. The whole range features a lower edge in bronzed nickel painted steel.

J.J.

Antonio Citterio

The J.J. family presents armchairs with a different look and a wide variety of materials: with a steel-rod structure supporting a wooden frame, they convey a certain degree of lightness. Entirely made of thermo-treated ash wood, they hint at traditional aesthetics. Details are carefully studied for every armchair as the polypropylene ribbons that design the backrest. There is also an armchair fitted with a sleigh, the expression of the traditional rocking chair that becomes glamorous when it is attired in long haired Mongolian lamb fur.

Jean

Antonio Citterio

The Jean seating system, designed for the home by Antonio Citterio, has been extended to the contract sector in a new collection of armchairs and sofas of two and three seats.

Kalos

Antonio Citterio

A modern interpretation of the more classic easy chair, Kalos comes both in leather and fabric upholstery. The latter can be stretched or formed by a slipcover hiding the feet or the revolving base. The footrest has two different heights. The feet are of solid wood in several finishes, brushed light or black oak, or in grey or brown oak, or wenge.

Lazy ’05

Patricia Urquiola

Easy with large seat and backrest, it is designed to fit into any space. The cover is fitted on a steel frame and offers both the self-coloured version and the option of combining contrasting shades between the underseat and the external surface.

Le Bambole

Mario Bellini

The Bambola armchair is part of Le Bambole series, originally designed in 1972, awarded with the Compasso d’Oro in 1979. Icon of timeless contemporaneity and one of the most effective expressions of Made in Italy excellence combining research and creative flair, Le Bambole have provided a very personal answer to the theme of seats. What makes them special is the apparent absence of a load bearing structure, the extreme naturalness of the shape, and the combination of comfort, softness and elasticity that their appearance conveys. Where the original construction was based on a metal structure embedded in polyurethane, now the materials used are of the latest generation, starting from recycled polyethylene gives structure. A sustainable project thanks to the choice of materials and the construction method, that allows the components of Le Bambole to be completely disassembled and therefore easily recyclable.

Le Bambole x Stella McCartney

Mario Bellini

The Stella McCartney x B&B Italia capsule collection (armchair, two-seater sofa and three-seater sofa) is marking the British conscious pioneer’s first-ever interiors collaboration. The sofas feature a hand-drawn “Fungi Forest” print upholstery pulled from the Stella McCartney Summer 2022 runway collection and a responsible construction inspired by shared sustainability values. The collaboration was successfully introduced at Stella McCartney’s “Future of Fashion” material innovation installation during Milan Design Week in June 2022. The partnership was born of Stella’s long-time personal passion for Bellini’s works and celebrates Le Bambole’s 50th anniversary. Made with circularity in mind, the new Le Bambole is designed to be fully disassembled – allowing for easier repairs and the most responsible use of materials at the end of life. The Stella McCartney x B&B Italia capsule also introduces a new sustainable innovation exclusively developed by the design company’s R&D team: Le Bambole’s upholstery is a 100% biodegradable and toxin-free polyester leaving no harmful microplastics in the environment.

Mart

Antonio Citterio

A comfortable hollow shape, in two sizes, stands on a series of bases that create the overall personality. The combination of these elements produces a family of armchairs that can be placed in various areas of the home. Everything issues from long-term experimentation centred on the production technology of thermoformed leather, starting from a plastic body that is inserted into a cold polyurethane foam mould, thus obtaining elasticity and comfort.

The former, with aluminium swivel base and four spokes, combines elegance and comfort. The latter, which is also swivel and has a matching ottoman, is larger with a headrest with magnet for adjustments. There are two bases available, one with four spokes and one circular, both in bright brushed aluminium.

Jeffrey Bernett

After the namesake armchair with its slender profile and expertly tailored design that was presented in 2014, the project Metropolitan ’14 by Jeffrey Bernett is extended with a cosy modern sofa that always features the continuous line presented by both seat and armrest. But the innovative touch is the base with four spokes. Already used as support for the armchair, here it is doubled to enhance the sofa with an aerodynamic flare that refreshingly revisits the look of even the most conventional spaces.

Musa

Antonio Citterio

Two different versions, one lower and deeper compared to the other; both are proposed with a frame in grey oak, brushed light oak, brushed black oak or smoked stained oak. They can be covered in either leather and fabric.

Nidus

Antonio Citterio

The Nidus collection of upholstered furniture was inspired by the precise need to create a series of formal proposals with a relaxed feel, for moments of socialising and conversation in a harmonious, relaxed setting. Antonio Citterio has achieved this objective by paying great attention to structural details like the embracing shape of the curved sofas, available in two sizes. Together with the absence of arms and the high back, this solution makes it possible to bring people together in a fresh, relaxed and unusual way. This extrovert approach is also embodied by the armchairs, offered in three versions, only one of which with arms, intended as items to be arranged freely. All the Nidus pieces can be complemented by a comfy removable headrest, and have feet upholstered in the same fabric or leather as the seats, with the addition of a small metal detail at the base that is decorative and also guarantees protection against impacts.

Oh, it rains!

Philippe Starck

The very first collaboration between B&B Italia and Philippe Starck leads to the birth of a sofa and an armchair, both with impressive dimensions and a highly scenographic presence, that surprisingly combine an unusual shape and an unexpected function, with a name that really attracts attention. Oh, it rains! is a piece of considerable impact, destined to last over time and to be talked about, but also to be used in the most unexpected ways and contexts. Philippe Starck started his research for this project by going back to the origins of outdoor furniture, that of nomads and soldiers: desert tents and field equipment, colonial colors and very light materials, essential shapes with functions connected with rapid action. We notice Oh, it rains! right away for its large backrest. It isn’t a simple decorative element, though. It acts like a wall or a partition to create an intimate and private setting, and, when necessary, it folds down on top of the seat and – voilà – the seat and cushions are covered and protected. Colours and materials go hand in hand with the initial concept and the collection introduces colonial shades and raffia-effect waterproof fabrics. The backrest is proposed as a surface to be personalized through the choice and combination of fabrics. The collection is enhanced by optional cushions that guarantee extra comfort and a dynamic look to this large object, suitable for private settings and also for outdoor areas in hotels and lounge. From a technical standpoint, the backrest is made with a double layer of water-repellent fabric, which makes it 100% waterproof. For this reason Oh, it rains! can be covered with any type of outdoor fabric present in the B&B Italia collection. It is also possible to choose the version with a side table integrated into the structure, available in natural teak wood or Mediterranean stone.

Pablo

Vincent Van Duysen

The B&B Italia 2019 collection introduces Pablo, a new seat by Vincent Van Duysen. Its strengths are comfort and firmness, which combine to form high-impact aesthetic and structural solutions. Pablo has a double thick leather layer with light seat padding which is barely visible but capable of ensuring comfort. The appealing shape is defined by an accentuated depth and a slightly inclined front: Pablo suggests new proportions, calibrated to the millimetre, which make this seat an innovative meeting point between small armchair and chaise longue. The structure wraps around the body and is suspended. It appears to be flying because it is simply fitted into the backrest and inserted into the armrests. The designer’s meticulous attention to detail found a true ally in B&B Italia Research & Development Centre which understands that the most essential products require a lot of work and special care. The result is noticeable in the constant play between the straight and curved lines, the relationship between the lightness of the wood, the strength of the raw-cut leather and the structural elements’ vertical shape being softened by a curved section. Like a suspended bridge or a flying carpet, this gentle object conceives a new visual and perceptive balance which is elegant and comfortable.

Piccola Papilio

Naoto Fukasawa

If the wings of Grande Papilio protect the head of the user, those of Piccola Papilio support the backrest, creating a seat that, despite the small size, precisely responds to the demand for comfort. The truncated cone shape is unchanged, and there is always a zip on the rear of the backrest.

Pochette

Piero Lissoni

Pochette is a generously shaped armchair that is as unusual as it is inviting. Designed by Piero Lissoni, it takes its name from a small, high-quality object, a soft and graceful bag, to be touched and held close to the body on the most important occasions. Such a fusion of care and lightness is found in the equilibrium of Pochette, where steel and leather combine to give form and substance to a seat that offers relaxation without neglecting style. A painted steel tube, left exposed in the back, defines the shape and creates support, amid straight lines and sinuous curves that wrap around the upholstery. The tubular frame features leather upholstery made with a technique inspired by that used for luxury car steering wheels. It is a slow and careful technique, capable of hiding the seams and revealing sophisticated piping that serves as a refined decorative pattern. Expertise in leather workmanship is found in every detail of Pochette, including the two back cushions, elements that have no fixed position but, like a handkerchief placed with studied nonchalance in a jacket pocket, can be arranged as desired to accommodate your preferred posture. While the tubular frame is upholstered in leather, the cushions can be in leather or fabric, with the aim of creating an understated ensemble in each case. A synthesis of class and savoir-faire, Pochette is presented as a versatile armchair that is ideal for reading, but also for conversation, in the living room or sleeping area, for private spaces and public settings.

Posa

David Chipperfield

For this project Chipperfield was particularly concerned with finding versatile, robust seating which would meet rigorous usage requirements while conveying a sense of refined luxury. It is planned to finish the museum seating in leather. This line of research has been combined with another theme that Chipperfield was keen to explore; that of obtaining comfortable soft seating from thin upholstered sections applied to a light and dynamic structure, using advanced industrial production techniques.

The “Natural” and “Fabric” collections consist of sofas available in two depths as well as modular elements such as terminal elements, chaise longue and armchair.

Richard

Antonio Citterio

Richard is the seating system which distinguishes itself by its balanced contemporary design, with references to classical atmospheres. Its modular theme is developed by 76 elements in two depths: 93 cm for more formal and contained solutions, and 123 cm for larger compositions and more informal seating. The extreme flexibility of the system and the ease with which the different elements can be assembled allows the living space to be interpreted in the most varied configurations, from formal to more relaxed, with seats, benches, ottomans and chaise longue. The wide range of covers, in fabric with matching tones or contrasting profiles, and in leather with profiles in the same leather, allows an even greater level of customisation, offering monochromatic or contrasting solutions. The structure is emphasized by a metallic profile at the base, either painted black chromed or pewter painted. Four sizes of optional cushions (65×50 cm, 48×48 cm, 55×30 cm, 38×38 cm) increase the comfort.

Famous icon of international contemporary design, Serie Up won last June the XXVII Compasso d’Oro “Award for Product Career 2022”, the most significant award in the field of Italian industrial design. B&B Italia pays tribute to the anthropomorphic armchair with the limited edition “Compasso d’Oro Edition”, available in just 500 numbered pieces. UP5_6 will be upholstered in the exclusive CD fabric in antique gold, while the spherical ottoman in bronze fabric will be tied to the armchair by means of an aluminum chain with corten finish.

Simpliciter

Antonio Citterio

The same features as the Simplex, the topstitched one-piece seat cushion and the feet in black painted or bronzed nickel painted aluminium, but with thinner armrests creating a lighter aesthetic. Sofa, armchair and ottoman are also proposed with a slip cover for a younger and more feminine touch.

Theo

Vincent Van Duysen

A seat that seems to be suspended, a dynamic frame that contrasts the static features : Theo reprocesses the traditional elements of the armchair, creating an item with a strong identity that can be changeable. Upholstered with a self-coloured fabric or leather, and enriched with tailoring details for a classical appearance, while the two-tone variant speaks a younger and more ironical language.

Tulip

Jeffrey Bernett

Tulip is a 360-degree swivel armchair with remarkably flexible use, whose highlight is the well-balanced proportion between its thickness and the intersections of straight lines and curves. The polished brushed aluminium supporting disc reflects part of the frame, thus emphasising the item’s roundness. Two cuts carved into the backrest and a soft seat cushion make the chair cosy and comfortable.

Tulip Sixty – Tulip Sixtysix

Jeffrey Bernett

Two new armchairs have become part of the new collection reserved to the contract market. They are a reassessment of the célèbre Tulip, on the dimensional level. The bigger version, smaller compared to the original model, comfortable and swivel, is supplied with round base-frame in bright brushed aluminium, while the smaller version, with similar dimensions to a chair, is supported by two basic typologies: a four spoke base in bright brushed aluminium or a rod base in bright chromed steel.

Up 50

Gaetano Pesce

To celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Gaetano Pesce’s Up5_6, B&B Italia has opened its wardrobe up to new solid colours: orange red, navy blue, petrol green, emerald green, cardamom. There is also the 50th Anniversary Special Edition, striped beige/petrol green, which refers to the original colour palette of 1969.

Up Junior

Gaetano Pesce

UP5_6, an unrivaled icon of Italian design on the international stage, now presented in an unusual version designed for children aged over 3 years: UPJ. The new Junior version, which is identical to the original except for being smaller in size, is proposed as a design armchair both comfortable and playful; its attractive shape and its bright red colour will tastefully furnish and enhance spaces dedicated to children and even compact metropolitan apartments. UPJ, the latest “must” for all those who will not give up a seat – even a small one – that has a place in design history.
