Description

Adjustable backrest

Andy '13 incorporates a mechanism that changes the backrest inclination from a horizontal position to a vertical one for a more upright seat. B&B Italia offers linear and corner versions, including chaise-longue arrangements.

Upholstery and frame

The load-bearing assembly joins tubular sections to steel profiles. Flexible foam shaped cold carries a polyester-fibre layer. The cover is fabric with eco-leather profiles or leather.

AD248

The AD248 drawing gives 248 cm width, 117–138 cm depth as the backrest moves, and 56–77 cm height across its two positions.

Story

A changing profile

The backrest mechanism gives Andy '13 two distinct silhouettes: low and horizontal, or raised for a more upright sitting position. The drawing records the corresponding changes in depth and height.

Paolo Piva

B&B Italia credits Paolo Piva and dates this model to 2013. The product-specific mechanism, rather than a family narrative, is the focus of the official description.
