B&B
Italia.
Furniture shaped by industrial research, architectural thinking and an exceptional roster of international designers.
Design as industry—and culture.
B&B Italia changed modern furniture by treating the factory as a place of invention. Technology, materials research and design authorship meet in products conceived not only as beautiful objects, but as complete solutions for contemporary living.
Before the icon,
there is an idea.
The story began in 1966, when Piero Ambrogio Busnelli founded C&B as a joint venture between Cassina and Busnelli. Its ambition was distinctly modern: bring industrial precision and new technologies to upholstered furniture without losing the intelligence of the designer’s hand.
That approach was visible immediately in Coronado by Afra and Tobia Scarpa. Its steel structure and cold-moulded polyurethane foam helped establish a new production language—one that could deliver complex form, repeatable quality and international distribution.
B&B Italia has continued to operate as a meeting point between strong creative personalities and an equally strong research culture. The collection is broad, but never anonymous: every piece is expected to advance the way people sit, gather and inhabit a room.
