Story
A system named for an atoll
B&B Italia states that the name refers to a coral formation. The sofa's raised metal support line carries platforms that accept different seating and support elements.
Movable support
A bolster in two sizes attaches to a die-cast structure with straps and can serve as added support, armrest or backrest. Antonio Citterio is credited for the 2018 system.
