"Please, take your seat" is the greeting with which B&B Italia announces its new product launches for 2011. Seating, which has always been a particularly strong part of the brand, is the focus of its creative work this year with each product bearing the mark of its designer. For 2011, the work of internationally renowned designers Antonio Citterio and Patricia Urquiola is joined by products from Gabriele and Oscar Buratti, who will be presenting their second designs for B&B Italia. Working together with B&B Italia’s Research and Development Centre, whose excellence is widely acknowledged, all the designers achieved impressive results, dedicating themselves to an often long and complex development process. The new chairs are functional objects, aesthetically expressive with attention to detail, industrially produced and designed to last the test of time.
A moulded plastic shell and a series of soft cushions: these are the basic elements of the Husk armchair. A celebration of softness, Husk is the result of a long development process to create a versatile armchair that is both unique in its own right and able to complement even the most classic sofas. Three types of cushions are available: standard, large and very large or with a headrest, while the body support can be either fixed or rotating. A ottoman footrest is also available. Playing on the wide range of colours and finishes of the body (in four-toned recycled plastic), the support (in natural oak or grey or black lacquered wood) and covers numerous types of leather or fabric), Husk can radically change its appearance, from a single colour to an extremely bright or subtly elegant style.
With Tufty-Too, Patricia Urquiola recalls one of the most successful designs in her collaboration with B&B Italia and adds a new, contemporary and soft appearance to this family of sofas. The cover, easily removable, is distinguished by matching and contrasting stitching that becomes a decorative motif. The new range of fabrics offers interesting alternatives for texture and colour that complement already existing items.
The new collection is already available for orders at Inspira.
