Qualità, ricerca e innovazione Quality, research and innovation La capacità di realizzare prodotti “senza tempo” va ricercata nella vocazione industriale e tecnologica di B&B Italia e nel suo sapere costantemente coniugare idea creativa e capacità progettuale.

L’audace sperimentazione messa a punto dall’azienda per prima al mondo ha avviato un’autentica rivoluzione nell’imbottito introducendo importanti miglioramenti dal punto di vista qualitativo....

Athos ’12 _ Paolo Piva Paolo Piva Athos ’12 si presenta in due lunghezze, sia in versione fissa sia in quella allungabile che ospita fino a dodici persone, merito di un meccanismo invisibile. La struttura metallica a V regge un piano di forte spessore ammobidito dalle raggiature sui bordi ottenute con un complesso procedimento di fresatura grazie al quale la venatura mantiene uniformità sull’intera superficie. Athos ’12 has two lengths, both in the fixed and extendable version, that can seat up to twelve people by exploiting a concealed mechanism. The V-shaped metal frame supports a thick top...

Eileen_ Antonio Citterio Antonio Citterio Tavolo e console sono ormai divenuti dei classici, per merito della loro versatilità (marmo, legno o laccatature a scelta), dell’eleganza del piano smussato e del segno forte della base con motivo a croce. Sono espressione di un’estetica raffinata che non teme l’accostamento con altri stili. Table and console are classics today with their versatile features (marble, wood or lacquered, as desired), the elegance of the rounded top and the strong profile of the base with its cross-shaped motif. They are the expression of refined aesthetics that combine well...

Alle tre varianti di rovere si aggiunge anche la finitura rovere segato fumigato in cui restano evidenti, grazie al taglio che riproduce la manualità di quello a sega, tracce della lavorazione artigianale che aggiungono valore all’eleganza formale di Frank ’12.

Lens _ Patricia Urquiola Patricia Urquiola Ha origine dalla ricerca sulle superfici trasparenti, si ispira al caleidoscopio, alle vetrate dei palazzi veneziani del ’700 e produce effetti optical: il piano del tavolo Lens nasce dall’accoppiamento di due cristalli all’interno dei quali è inserita una speciale pellicola lenticolare che dà profondità. L’elegante struttura che lo sostiene è in metallo verniciato bianco. The result of the study of transparent surfaces that are rich in special effects, it is inspired by the kaleidoscope, by the glass panes of 18th century Venetian palaces, and produces...
