Founded in 1966 by the Busnelli family, B&B Italia is a leading Italian company in the world of designer furniture. Based in Novedrate, their prestigious headquarters was designed by Renzo Piano & Richard Rogers. The company is distinguished by its innovative industrial approach to manufacturing. This has contributed to winning numerous awards included four Compasso D'Oro, the most prestigious honour in Italian design.
Maxalto was launched in 1975 and is overseen by Antonio Citterio. Five distinct collections that are mutually consistent and designed to be coordinated. For enthusiasts of contemporary design centered on tradition. Without renouncing suggestive sophisticated ideas.
linear sofa from the new amoenus soft collection, distinguished by soft seats with a strong personality due to the formal yet enveloping backseat-armrest. the internal frame of the sofa, with deep seating, is made out of steel tubulars and profiles, the padding of the frame is in differentiated density polyurethane foam, the padding of the cushion of the seat is in polyurethane and sterilised down whereas the padding of the cushion of the backseat is in down.
the collection is composed of three sofa types, united by pleasantly curved but rigorous lines, which distinguishes each element and creates a harmony between curves and linear forms. in its fluid shape, where the corners seem designed to accommodate the body, geometry becomes comfort with apollo. at first glance, the upholstery of the seat and cushions, the backrest height, the lack of feet, and the generous seat depth are the elements that make apollo welcoming and appealing.
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 & 115 cm) in various configurations.
geometric volumes raised off the floor and soft clean rigorous lines are the distinctive characteristics of aurae sofas. this collection offers a high level of formal elegance, with linear seating in five dimensions with a generous depth. the lower perimeter edge is available in different painted metal finishes.
the semicircular curved form adds a special touch to crono, sofa available in three lengths particularly suitable to mid-room placement. the same curved form also marks the armchair with revolving base of varnished steel sheet, perfect for any environment, whether living room, study or bedroom.
dives soft is a family of linear and modular sofas available in various sizes and in two seat depths. the version with a narrower seat depth is distinguished by its armrests and backrest, which feature two different upholstery styles: smooth on the exterior and quilted in classic chesterfield style on the interior. a sophisticated and refined detail to be enjoyed. in the version with a wider seat, the upholstery is entirely smooth, with soft down feather cushions.
a family of seating that carries with it the "memory" of a traditional design distinguished by a large enveloping backrest. the sofas come in two sizes: a smaller one with low or high seat cushion and a larger one. a wide selection of finishes: from the single material version in fabric or leather to the version with legs painted with a glossy chrome-plated or bronzed nickel finish down to the oak base. a detail characteristic of the family is the elegant, visible "blanket stitching”.
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. the dimensional variations are numerous, thanks also to the 'maxalto atelier' service which offers ad hoc sizes in width and depth.
sofa range proposing two different interpretations. the first, more casual solution displays a seat split into two portions and a back with cushions of different sizes. different coloured cushions are also available if desired. the much more formal second version comes in two widths, with a regular division of seat and back cushions. the line of Imprimatur sofas is completed by two armchairs with different back heights. the whole range features a lower edge in bronzed nickel painted steel.
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.
lucrezia soft is a range of sofas defined by generous padding and rounded forms. the many elements making up the series of linear and modular sofas, available in two depths and multiple sizes, come in two versions. the first offers a plain seat cushion with a band and piping, the second a seat cushion with capitonné stitching.
otium soft has a classic-modern style and wide and comfy seats. seats are available in various sizes and styles, two or more units can be assembled to create standard sofa, a corner sofa with corner units and footstool too. its distinctive features are the tapered armrests and piping in eco-leather that embellish armrests, seats and backrest. otium soft rests on a metal base, available in either black chrome or bronze nickel painted finish.
