Story
Part of the Quiet Lines collection
B&B Italia identifies Quiet Lines as a collection comprising a writing desk, bench, bedside table and screen, developed through Gabriel Tan's research into serenity.
Curved and straight lines
Across the collection, curved and straight lines create a strong graphic mark. For the small table, the curved leather-covered surface also softens the sound of objects placed on the shelf, while the glass top creates the manufacturer's stated display effect.
