Chairs
Belle
Naoto Fukasawa
The Belle wooden chair stands out for its rounded lines and leather upholstered seat. The round section legs are given a classical feel by curving slightly outwards in the lower part. Towards the top they join up with the backrest to create elegant, elbow-shaped armrests. The backrest comes in two versions: in wood, in the same finishes as the frame, or upholstered in leather to match the seat. With a clever play of literary and stylistic references, the Belle chair is the delicate, feminine counterpart to the Bull table, but can easily be combined with other models as well.
Charlotte
Antonio Citterio
Charlotte by Antonio Citterio is a tribute to lightness. The shell is completely covered, but the frame profile is visible on the chair side, thus highlighting the line of the seat. The cover is in raw cut full grain leather in six different colours (natural, black, dark brown, mud green, bottle green, bordeaux). The frame is available in a series of different finishes that emphasize it when pewter painted, bronzed nickel painted, black chrome painted or black painted aluminium, or blend it with the cover when painted in bottle green or bordeaux colours.
Cutter
Mario Bellini
Cutter is Mario Bellini’s new chair with strong and decisive aesthetics which create a new type of seating. The back of the chair is slashed by a cut which is pays homage to the great artist Lucio Fontana. Although evident, Cutter’s nature does not only lie in an aesthetic choice but generates an unprecedented type of seating. The twin backrest’s ends are functional and comfortable in a frontal position, while moving independently and allowing a lateral position. This gesture is suitable for chatting with the person seated nearby. It is also designed to ensure high comfort seating and casual movements, allowing the user to lean on one side with an arm placed around the backrest. The seating frame is made of metal and webbing, softened by a classic polyurethane upholstery. To guarantee elasticity and strength to the double backrest, B&B Italia’s Research & Development Centre has opted for a sophisticated harmonic steel core. The upholstery and cover fully envelop the chair in embossed thick leather, creating an ideal synthesis of softness and rigour, underlined by saddle stitching. The central cut reveals an inner part in refined black Saffiano thick leather, as if Cutter’s soul peeps out from this dramatic opening.

Doyl
Gabriele and Oscar Buratti
The result of sophisticated research on the theme of padded thick leather that reaches very thin tailoring solutions. Softness is perceived by the lines of the seat and backrest and by their convex shape. Thick leather is bent, rounded and turned but never cut; the continuous seams on the front and back add a graphic sign. The fabric variants can be very colourful.
El
Antonio Citterio
It combines geometry and softness, expert woodworking skills and technology. Designed with important details, including especially the padded body that runs along the perimeter of the seat and backrest. The wooden frame visually reduces the volumes of El, concealing the foam, whose thickness guarantees remarkable comfort and a certain degree of flexibility.

Flair O’
Monica Armani
Flair O’ is a small domestic throne, a chair that matches the Allure O’ table perfectly. The two objects establish a dialogue starting from their bases. Both pieces sit atop a truncated pyramid with rounded edges to reconcile the concepts of elegance and charm. The base widens gently on the back side as it nears the floor. It becomes almost unnoticeable and provides great stability without interfering with the harmony of the design. A padded seat provides necessary comfort. Moreover, the accentuated tilt of the backrest and its enveloping shape help people relax without compromising the ideal posture to adopt when interacting with others elegantly around a dining table. Furthermore, the chair is equipped with a swivel mechanism with an automatic return. The fabric cover embraces Flair O’ like a tailored suit, covering it completely from the seat to the base.

Husk
Patricia Urquiola
Comfortable, with a modern combination of base and seat, it picks up the profile of the namesake armchair. The body, which is shaped with a design that cites the capitonné style, conveys a feeling of softness; the cushions, in fabric or leather, fixed with press studs, are distinguished by the quilting. Many colour variants and combinations.
Iuta
Antonio Citterio
It brings home the rigour of work spaces and stands out for the soft lines of the aluminium perimeter profile. The light steel mesh of the backrest and the light design of the spokes make it a particularly pleasant addition even to the domestic environment. Also for the home office, with a wide range of seat covers.
Iuta ’14
Antonio Citterio
The four spoke wooden support of Iuta ’14 softens the contours of the steel-profiled netted frame, available in two monochromatic versions, either bronzed nickel or off-white. The wooden structure is available in four different shades.
Jens
Antonio Citterio
Antonio Citterio interprets the classic design of Chinese chairs in a contemporary key, rediscovering the craftsmanship of turned and curved wood, added to leather to make seats and backs that enhance the design. For the Jens chair, designed by Antonio Citterio with armrests in two versions and without armrests, the choice of wood in oak or natural wenge offers different shade variants.
Lazy ’05
Patricia Urquiola
Their name recalls relaxation, laziness and rest. The principle they have in common is the bright chromed steel frame with easy to remove covers with a zipper or Velcro fastening. With high backrest for a rigorous position, lower with backrest/armrest or in the stool version, it offers the possibility of combining different fabric tones above and under the seat, with a two-colour effect.
Metropolitan
Jeffrey Bernett
Two different structures, the former in plate steel both chromed and varnished, the latter with a four star brushed aluminium base. Malleable and easy to place alongside tables that differ in style, it allows to play with base and cover combinations: more serious in leather or colourful in fabric.
Mini Papilio
Naoto Fukusawa
Miniaturised it becomes more playful than the previous versions, and can also be used in public spaces. All features are left unaltered: traditional, 360 degree rotation, or an automatic return to the pre-set position

Mirto Indoor
Antonio Citterio
The classic director’s chair (a fixed variant that comes with or without arms and a folding version) is reinvented with contemporary sophistication and meticulous attention to detail and proportions, not to mention the grain of leather used on the seat and the back. The structure of the chair is available in light or dark tones, whereas the leather is available in natural or black. Different shades are able to offer different images for a different kind of feel.
Papilio
Naoto Fukasawa
The design allows both an erect posture and a more relaxed position by resting on one of the wings of the armrest. The formal balance results from the constant thickness of the body and by the profile of the seat, which is sinuous at the top and ends in the light steel frame. Removable covers with a metal zip on the back, which becomes a decorative motif.
