Beverly '14

Balanced modernity

Beverly ’14 is Antonio Citterio’s 2014 armchair for B&B Italia. Its die-cast aluminium support and thick leather cover create the light, carefully detailed construction that the manufacturer describes as able to sit alongside varied interior styles.

Precisely detailed materials

The support structure is die-cast aluminium, paired with stainless-steel components and thermoplastic ferrules. Thick leather forms the cover, keeping the material palette short and the structural outline visible.

BF70B dimensions

The single technical drawing records 69.5 × 74 × 78 cm. It also labels an arm height of 54 cm and a seat height of 39 cm.

A 2014 refinement

The apostrophe in Beverly ’14 corresponds to the year printed by B&B Italia on both the product page and its dedicated sheet. Antonio Citterio framed the chair as an exercise in balanced modernity rather than an overtly historical statement, allowing its carefully controlled proportions to work across different settings.

Structure left visible

Instead of concealing the support beneath upholstery, the design exposes the die-cast aluminium frame and stainless-steel fittings. The thick leather surface spans that precise framework, making material treatment and detailed junctions central to the chair’s restrained expression.
