About the Item

This is a rare pair of identical “Maxalto” Armchairs from the world renown Italian furniture house, B&B Italia. In a world of temporary pleasures, B&B Italia create beautiful furniture that remains a joy forever. Dressed in the most stunning and tactile high-grade “Pelle” leather fabric option in an elegant, timeless Dark-Brown, with Mid-Oak framework. The hide is easily recognised as being of peerless quality with it being as robust and hard-wearing as rhino skin, whilst its softness and texture is simply divine to the touch. This pair of Armchairs is in superb, immaculately-maintained condition, having seen light, infrequent use in its previous home, and is entirely free from fault, flaw or damage. Its handsome order reflects the TLC and considerate use afforded it in the past and, aside from the odd light, superficial mark to the leather and frame, it is as well-presented as it is gorgeous. For the avoidance of doubt, please view the numerous images provided to confirm its superb condition and appearance. In its current state, this suite would meet the requirements of all but the most-particular of buyers and, for someone looking for a suite of high-design to position at the heart of their space, it is truly heaven sent! This superb suite possesses all the beauty and majesty you would hope for from some of the finest contemporary furniture money can buy. Dimensions-wise, each chairs measurements are H-73cm, W-64cm and D-64cm, and the breathtaking seating position this iconic classic-design creates is enhanced by the use of sumptuously comfortable, generously-upholstered composite back and seat cushioning, which leaves you powerless to resist its charms. Not only does it possess an aesthetic to die for, but it is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo comfortable too!

B&B Italia

In 1966, Piero Ambrogio Busnelli cofounded C&B Italia, a modern Italian furniture manufacturer, with Cesare Cassina in northern Milan. From the outset, Busnelli and Cassina set about recruiting the most talented modernists in Italy to conceive of creative furnishings manufactured in modern ways. In the early 1970s, the company split, with Cassina founding his own eponymous firm and Busnelli taking leadership of what became B&B Italia.

For decades, Busnelli cultivated relationships with the world’s best design talent, resulting in furniture pieces that remain iconic today — be they Gaetano Pesce’s outwardly curvaceous Up seating (made for C&B, reintroduced by B&B) or tables from industrial designer Paolo Piva, each more sophisticated than the next in their geometrically complex steel-tube bases. B&B Italia earned four prestigious Compasso d’Oro design awards: in 1979 for Mario Bellini’s Le Bambole, in 1984 for the Sisamo wardrobe system by Studio Kairos, in 1987 for Antonio Citterio’s modular Sity sofa and, in 1989, the first award given to a manufacturing company itself.

Other notable names who designed for B&B Italia over the course of its 54-year history include Patricia Urquiola, Naoto Fukasawa, Zaha Hadid, Ettore Sottsass and Vincent Van Duysen, to name a very few. And while these names bring star power to the B&B brand, in many cases, it was B&B Italia who helped usher in their celebrity, fostering a wave of design talent on the world stage.

The company’s forward-thinking vision manifested in its own headquarters, too: In 1972, B&B Italia tapped architects Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers to design a steel-framed, postmodern-style home for the brand, whose crisscrossing metal exoskeleton is reminiscent of the pair’s Centre Pompidou in Paris, which was built at roughly the same time. Now, B&B Italia manages a contract division and outdoor section as well as its residential arm, and it also controls production for Maxalto, a brand spun out with furniture designs by Antonio Citterio.
