B&B Italia begins the year with a series of new projects that involve all parts of the home: the living area, the night area and the outdoor area.

The first piece starts with a die-cast aluminium bridge-like frame: a sign where proportions and thicknesses count....

The newest product in the collection is an extremely comfortable and enveloping small armchair of significant formal elegance. Distinctive features include the legs upholstered in the same material as the seat and the blanket stitching along the edges. Thanks to the 43 cm-high seat, it can also be used at the dining table.
