january 15, 2018 - B&B Italia
B&B Italia at IMM Cologne 2018
B&B Italia starts 2018 with the launch in Cologne of the first new products of the year dedicated to outdoor living, namely brand new designs by the British duo Doshi Levien and by the Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa. The challenge is once again to reflect the technological innovation, ergonomic and formal research, quality and comfort typical of B&B Italia’s indoor products.
The brand new proposals for living “en plain air”, together with new finishes and sizes for outdoor products already in the collection, are showcased alongside new B&B Italia and Maxalto proposals designed by Antonio Citterio for the dining and the living areas. Next to the new additions to the collection, the latest products are displayed in elegant and welcoming settings that reflect a truly refined lifestyle.
Bay is a collection of sculptural and monolithic yet visually light outdoor seats comprising of a sofa in two sizes, an armchair and a high-backed armchair. Their enveloping volumes are marked by a double polypropylene fibre interlacing that creates “air pockets”, granting transparency and lightness to the furniture. The frame accommodates padded solid seats and soft cushions for added comfort. The colours combinations are extremely refined, with tortora and anthracite for the interlacing, paired with elegant
block colour and patterned fabrics for the seats and cushions.
Tabour, the collection of indoor ottomans introduced in 2016, now features a new outdoor version. Oblong oval and square in shape, they resemble primeval marine creatures or large unicellular animals, associating the sensuality of the organic shapes with highly technological materials. The fabric is stretched over the padded frame by a sort of oversized “button” that serves as a tray, painted white, tortora or anthracite.
Fiore is a new series of outdoor tables, round and square available in two heights, in white or greige cement. “Many years ago, I called my chairs “Papilio” because their silhouettes reminded me of butterflies,” says Naoto Fukasawa. “Now I have called my latest project “Fiore”, meaning flower in Italian, because the Papilio chairs sit around these tables like butterflies flying around a flower.
The combination of a Fiore table with the Papilio chairs creates a pleasant outdoor environment for a coffee or a quick meal.” An outdoor solution that offers utmost flexibility, suitable both in residential and public settings.
