THE TALL CRINOLINE OUTDOOR ARMCHAIR
by Patricia Urquiola for B&B Italia Outdoor
Crinoline is an invitation to linger outdoors, capturing the elegance and grace of 19th-century silhouettes in a design that feels wholly modern. With its enveloping curves and generous hollowed base, the high-back armchair presents a romantic interplay of interwoven materials, offered in both polyethylene fibre and the natural tones of abaca. The high armchair›s floral detailing elevates its charm, while the petite armchair offers a softer, double-shell silhouette that envelops and supports. The Crinoline series seamlessly bridges past elegance and contemporary refinement across its range of armchairs, stools, and chairs.
VELARIA DOORS by Giuseppe Bavuso for Rimadesio
A bespoke solution that showcases Rimadesio’s exclusive glass within a sleek aluminum frame, bringing refined functionality to any space. Engineered for versatility and ease, Velaria is designed with patented telescopic profiles and soft-motion technology–the doors offer effortless, silent movement. The fully retractable system seamlessly integrates with pocket or bi-directional setups, creating an adaptable, elegant partitioning solution.
SERIE UP 2000 by Gaetano Pesce for B&B Italia
Designed in 1969, from the onset the Up series has been one of the most outstanding expressions of design with its expressive shapes upholstered with elastic fabric. The seven items that form it include the armchair and pouf UP5_6, icon of modernity, metaphor of the female figure that is endowed with a comfortable womb and is yet a prisoner. This unrivalled icon of design is also available in a junior version which is identical to the original except smaller in size.
MINI PAPILIO ARMCHAIR by Naoto Fukasawa for B&B Italia
The Mini Papilio chair captures the charm of the iconic Grande Papilio in a compact form. With a graceful, fluid design inspired by the movement of a butterfly, Mini Papilio offers 360-degree swivel with automatic return. Its inviting, sinuous shape and extended “wings” provide both comfort and support, making it a versatile choice for residential and public spaces alike, available in fabric or leather upholstery.
MARALUNGA 40-MAXI by Vico Magistretti for Cassina
Forty-five years on, the Maralunga 40 Maxi reimagines Cassina’s classic with refined proportions, increased comfort, and signature details. Featuring Cassina’s patented adjustable backrest, this updated design comes in new sizes–an armchair, 2-seater, and 3-seater. Enhanced depth and optional feather-filled cushions ensure Maralunga remains a timeless icon of style and comfort.
MART RELAX ARMCHAIR IN NATURAL THICK LEATHER
by Antonio Citterio for B&B Italia
The Mart Relax Armchair’s concave design and adaptable frames invite versatile use throughout the home, blending aesthetic appeal with advanced comfort. Developed through rigorous exploration in thermoformed leather, its shell is crafted from thick natural leather, molded for resilience and comfort, and finished in black chrome. Available in Lodi grey or black Alfa leather, with the option of an elegant headrest, Mart balances innovative structure with luxurious seating for a refined, contemporary statement
BEND-SOFA by Patricia Urquiola for B&B Italia
The Bend-Sofa is a modular piece that brings sculptural fluidity to any space, embodying an artistic form that expresses the idea of movement. It seems to have been moulded by an artist’s hand, but actually originates from the study of 3D models and digital research. Its irregular shape enhances comfort. Its name captures the essence of its flowing, irregular shape, where contrasting stitching adds an extra layer of visual intrigue. From compact, linear versions to expansive configurations, Bend-Sofa offers a multitude of compositions, allowing for truly original layouts that defy convention while enhancing comfort.
