Story
Taking up the armchair's profile
B&B Italia presents the chair as comfortable, with a modern combination of base and seat, and says it picks up the profile of the namesake armchair.
The body is shaped to cite the capitonné style and conveys a feeling of softness, and the quilted cushions, in fabric or leather, are fixed with press studs. The shell is high density polyurethane resin, and the shell cover of five of the codes is thick leather.
