B&B Italia's new outdoor collections: a contemporary approach to living

The collection includes Piero Lissoni's Nooch seating system. With a tubular frame made of recycled aluminium, this modular system is embellished with wooden elements and cushions padded with recycled polyurethane from production waste and an upper layer of virgin bio-polyurethane. Nooch offers the possibility of creating infinite configurations trough multiple small sections that may be arranged in a number of compositions, therefore providing versatile and unlimited solutions. The name Nooch means "bamboo maze" and is inspired by the tropical botanical garden of Nong Nooch in Thailand.

Monica Armani's Jackie O'-inspired collection brings the glamour of its unique objects outside, with new versions of her Allure O' table and Flair O' chair. With a retro charm that takes us back to the 1960s, the Allure O' outdoor table maintains the graceful strength of the indoor edition, balancing soft lines and bold shapes. The unique details are further enhanced by a tabletop in glazed stoneware or in lightweight concrete that breathes new life into this majestic piece with the boldness and brilliance of its colours.

The outdoor version of the Flair O' chair, also inspired by the style of the 1960s and designed by Monica Armani, is embellished with a sophisticated backrest that creates an intricate yet sinuous lace effect. Created with a meticolous craft process, the Flair O' outdoor chair is characterised by a lightweight aluminium frame that is completely covered with interlacing polypropylene ribbons.

Fa parte della nuova proposta anche la poltrona Cordoba di Foster + Partners, che combina design preciso, ergonomia, comfort e responsabilità ambientale. Lanciata in una nuova versione per esterni per sfruttare al meglio le forme ingegnerizzate e l'ergonomia, la poltrona è caratterizzata da una struttura in teak naturale, ed è composta da un rivestimento in tela rinforzata con polipropilene. Ruvido al tatto, il materiale è sviluppato per trasmettere l'effetto di un tessuto naturale, ed è disponibile in colori ispirati alla natura, tra cui verde, blu, mattone e tortora.
