Description
Overview
Backstage, by Antonio Citterio, is an innovative wardrobe system with a sophisticated personality. It stands out for precious materials, exclusive finish details and a wide range of versions, and its surfaces have a boiserie effect.
Construction
A mechanism developed by B&B Italia opens the full-height doors with simultaneous rotation and translation (roto-translation), which reduces bulk and improves access to the internal compartments. Sides, top, back and base are melamine faced panel in refined wood particles, uprights are extruded aluminium, and drawers run on total extraction runners with shock absorbers.
Specifications
Uprights: extruded aluminium. Opening mechanism and profiles: extruded aluminium and steel. Drawer handle: aluminium with bonded leather insert.
Story
An opening system drawn from architecture
Backstage is an innovative wardrobe system whose door opening system is inspired by contemporary architecture. The mechanism developed by B&B Italia moves the full-height doors with rotation and translation together, so the bulk stays reduced and the internal compartments are easier to reach.
Surfaces, fittings and spaces
The boiserie effect of the surfaces lets Backstage adapt to various spaces, and not only the bedroom. An exclusive choice of accessories and fittings underscores expert craftsmanship and the quality and purity of materials.
