Allure O’ Outdoor
Monica Armani
The Allure O’ Outdoor table keeps the graceful strength of the design of the indoor version, clearly visible in the shape of the top and the balance between straight lines and sinuous curves. It is proposed with square and rectangular tops and in two heights to accompany the Flair O’ Outdoor chairs but also the sofas and chairs in the other families of the B&B Italia Outdoor collection. The base-frame is made of moulded cement, a choice that gives the table extreme solidity and an appearance that easily adapts to any outdoor furnishing situation. The tops are available in lightened concrete and a surprising glossy glazed stoneware, a nostalgic material, used in the past for kitchen cooking surfaces. Allure O’ Outdoor is produced with an artisanal technique, after a slow, single firing process at a temperature of 250 °C, the stoneware is manually glazed by airbrush, a technique that allows for a unique depth and variety of colour.
Arbiter
Antonio Citterio
Arbiter is a modular seating system with extra-large measurements and oversized cushions, ideal for large spaces, that completes the brand’s range of sofas. The abundance of material is counterbalanced by the stylistic essentiality of the precise, almost archetypal lines, designed to lighten its impact in the home environment. The production technique is one typical of Maxalto: a steel frame and cold-foamed polyurethane structure. It comes in two depths (105 and 115 cm) in various configurations with or without a chaise-longue. There is also a version with Citterio’s beloved discontinuous backrest, which is designed to create seating that looks in the opposite direction, for example facing the bookcase behind the sofa. The range of materials introduces options with refined, distinctly woolly, and richly textured fabrics. The cushions present a surprising solution: in each pair, the small one sits behind the larger one, which thus becomes a kind of additional backrest that wraps around the sitter’s shoulders.
Button Table Outdoor
Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby

Cocùn
Antonio Citterio

The soft, generous cushions ensure enveloping comfort, turning every seat into a uniquely sensory experience. The system invites both social interaction and relaxation.
Cordoba
Foster+Partners Industrial Design Studio

Roomy and welcoming, the oak wood frame recalls Nordic precision and an oriental spirit, through an almost primordial combination that reveals accoutrements of absolute quality. In the legs, armrests and seat elements, the section changes according to function, reducing to a minimum that accommodates technical requirements, provides comfort and ensures an aesthetic devoted to lightness. The back and seat are made of thick leather, either smooth or embossed, which can be easily removed to allow for convenient maintenance and to be able to separate all materials when needed. This choice represents the desire to move in the direction of increasingly responsible design.

Antonio Citterio

Flair O’ Outdoor
Monica Armani
The Flair O’ Outdoor chair is characterized by a lightweight aluminium frame completely covered with an interlacing of polypropylene ribbons created following a meticulous artisan process. In particular, the backrest is woven on a special circular loom (tombolo) in line with an ancient technique typical of the area where the B&B Italia headquarter is located. To fine-tune it, Monica Armani collaborated with unPIZZO, a design studio based in Cantù, which specializes in the recovery and development of traditional weaving techniques revisited in a contemporary key and applied to the furnishing sector. The structures, available in sophisticated shades, is completed by two padded cushion that define the shape and provide even more comfort.

Conceived to revive the tradition of the great upholsterers, the Florius sofa system is characterized, even at first glance, by a minimalist frame and a large number of cushions. The selection of modules available allows to create many different configurations: linear, corner, with one or two armrests, with ottoman or chaise lounge. Florius comes in two versions: one with the frame and the cushions entirely upholstered in fabric or leather; the other with the wooden frame in shellac finish, to be combined with fabric or leather upholstery for the cushions.
Heri O’
Monica Armani
Seemingly elementary, Heri O’ by Monica Armani combines elegance, essentiality and charm, and nods to the ‘60s. An object whose shapes and key colour hark back to the pop side of that era. The name Heri O’ comes from the combination of the word heritage with O’. Heritage for the clear references to the archetypes of round wooden chairs, O’, like the Flair O’ and Allure O’ collections, is an homage to the timeless style icon Jackie O’. With a clean design, the chair, light in its forms, is made of a curved and joined wooden frame, a balance between tradition and novelty.

Lilum
Antonio Citterio
Characterized by the sinuous, organic-inspired lines Lilum is designed specifically for convivial and intimate solutions, and therefore to exist within the same environment together with more formal sofas. This is the only sofa in the Maxalto range with a direct seating frame. It is available in various compact shapes. The construction technique is mixed: the backrest is molded using in-house technology that ensures maximum precision of each profile, while the base is made using the classic technique for quality with multilayer glued laminated wood, without nails or glue. The aluminium profile in various finishes, that perfectly follow its geometry that defines the contour with a touch of understated refinement, while the accentuated edge separating the base from the seating, is a reminder of traditional handcrafted sofas.

The result is a further example of that successful synthesis of languages and styles that has always distinguished Made in Maxalto. Each piece in the Lilum 50 collection comes with a certificate guaranteeing its authenticity and uniqueness, signed by Antonio Citterio with the corresponding limited edition number.

Narinari
Tiziano Guardini & Luigi Ciuffreda
Narinari is a small armchair with a very unusual shape, which catches the eye with its originality and innovation. A seat that embodies the talent of the young designers behind the project, the result of their first collaboration with B&B Italia: Tiziano Guardini, with experience as a fashion designer, and Luigi Ciuffreda, known for his collaboration with various architecture and design studios. Upholstered in raw cut felt, with meticulous detailing and finishing, Narinari is reminiscent of a silhouette folded like origami, a seat with continuous shapes that derive from two surfaces that chase each other, defining volumes in a soft yet decisive manner. This fusion of the organic and the digital reflects the contemporary context of strong contradictions, where the classic merges with the futuristic, making Narinari a small armchair with a strongly distinctive character, a unique and recognisable presence in B&B Italia’s collection.
Nooch
Piero Lissoni
After the great success of Borea, Piero Lissoni and B&B Italia continue to pursue research and sustainability in the outdoor sector, creating Nooch, a modular seating system whose name is inspired by the tropical botanical garden of Nong Nooch in Thailand. Its key feature is the tubular structure in recycled aluminium, a light and strong material, completely recyclable. A choice inspired by simplicity, which recalls elementary tubular structures and ennobles them with a design that pays attention to every detail. The intersection of the structural elements represents the iconic feature of this collection, with the particular elbow curve achieved by the way the aluminium bends. A design and engineering detail that combines function and beauty. Nooch is a system that offers the possibility of creating infinite combinations from two base modules: a rectangular one and a square one. Both can be equipped with backrests and armrests and have an aluminium top with slats on which the cushions rest. The modules can be arranged as free-standing units or attached firmly together by means of special interlocking joints so as to create a variety of configurations. A series of additional top sections, to be inserted between the elements, offers even greater compositional freedom. The paddings are designed with sustainability in mind. They use regenerated materials, which are completely separable, and consist of two layers of polyurethane with different densities and firmness: one layer made of polyurethane recycled from production waste and one made of virgin bio-polyurethane, both wrapped in an outer sheath of recycled PET. The system is completed by a small round service element to be inserted between the cushions to offer further support and a particular backrest/armrest cushion to be inserted between the elements to create inverted and double-sided seats.

Privatus
Antonio Citterio
Only a complementary piece in appearance, the Privatus windscreen responds to the need to define the spaces in large rooms of stately homes; for example, this can be used between reception and dining areas, or behind the headboard of the bed to outline the sleeping area. The panels are covered with a handmade fabric, composed of 50% raffia and 50% banana leaf, and fixed on a support for greater stability. The panel is thus slightly sound-absorbing and endowed with a tangible materiality without being intrusive. The profile is made of bronzed nickel and painted aluminium. It consists of three, four or eight panels.

Tetrami
Naoto Fukasawa
A linear graphic character, with a strong functional impact, distinguishes Tetrami, the new collection of free-standing containers born from the creative flair of the Japanese master Naoto Fukasawa. The rectangle is the star element, as are the feet that unexpectedly materialize as vertical extensions of the two central partitions. The object is created thanks to the experience of expert cabinetmakers and is composed of extra thin wooden lists. Generously sized but not bulky, Tetrami is available in two heights. The taller model can be used as a sideboard, while the lower version can complement a sofa or double as a TV stand. Tetrami is available as an open cabinet or with drawers, making it a functional container. The grain and texture of ash make it an elegant and refined piece of furniture. The cabinets are also available in a two-tone version by combining the two ash tones for the finish of the outer and inner surfaces.
Tobi-Ishi Striped Marble
Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby
In its ten years of life, the Tobi-Ishi table has become a true icon of international design. In all its variations, it retains the strongly sculptural feel defined by the three elements that compose it, inspired by the “flying stones” that dot the pools of water in Japanese gardens. This peculiar balance of solidity and lightness also appears in the new limited and numbered edition of only 500 pieces made of strips of white Carrara and green Alpi marble with a very manual and sophisticated crafting technique, which requires slow and skillful processes, making it precious.
Tufty-Time 20
Patricia Urquiola
Tufty-Time 20 represents the contemporary evolution of Tufty-Time, the iconic sofa system designed by Patricia Urquiola in 2005. Twenty years after its launch, the system has been reinterpreted while maintaining the essential characteristics that have made it a great success, including modularity, enveloping comfort and compositional flexibility. The volumes, padding and seat height have been redesigned to offer even greater comfort, while the introduction of a curved module expands the system’s potential, giving rise to even more fluid and convivial configurations, ideal for both residential and contract spaces. Particular attention has been paid to the theme of circularity. Tufty-Time 20 is in fact fully disassemblable, ensuring that all the components can be given a second life at the end of the product’s life cycle.
