Softer Atoll variant
B&B Atoll Soft extends the earlier collection with rounder forms, bevelled edges and new upholstery. Its appearance is described by B&B Italia as more informal than the classic version.

Construction
The internal frame uses tubular steel and steel profiles. The seat combines polyurethane of different densities with sterilised down; polyester fibre with a cotton cover forms the back cushion.
Image configuration
The principal official image shows a sectional arrangement, but the saved official drawings do not identify that exact arrangement by one code. Dimensions are therefore not inferred.
Story
An evolution of B&B Atoll
B&B Italia describes Atoll Soft as an extension of the B&B Atoll collection. The 2021 variant retains the raised support structure while changing the upholstery and edge treatment.
