Description
Overview
Richard (2016, Antonio Citterio) is a modular seating system that B&B Italia describes as balanced and contemporary in design, evocative of classic atmospheres. All its elements come in two depths, one for formal and contained solutions and one for larger, more informal compositions.
Construction
- Internal structure: steel tubes and profiles, covered by flexible cold-formed polyurethane foam
- Seat cushions: four layers named on the sheet: shaped polyurethane (varying density), visco-elastic polyurethane, sterilized down, polyester fibre
- Back cushions: polyester fibre, shaped polyurethane, sterilized down
- Lower edge: die-cast aluminium and extrusions; the frame is underscored at the base by a metal profile
- Cover: fabric (profiles in Bellano or Bormio fabric) or leather
Specifications
- RA280 sofa: W 283 × D 123 × H 77.5 cm
Story
From formal to relaxed
The page says the extreme flexibility of the system and the ease of assembling its elements let the living space be interpreted in the most varied configurations, from formal to more relaxed, with seats, benches, ottomans and chaise longues.

Covers with profiles
The wide range of covers is fabric with matching tone-on-tone or contrasting textile profiles, or leather with profiles in the same material, for monochromatic or contrasting solutions. Optional cushions in various sizes add to the comfort.
