B&B Italia Sofas
Italian
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.
At 1stDibs, find a range of vintage B&B Italia furniture — including sofas, cocktail tables and more.

B&B Italia “Ray” L-Shape Sofa in Silver Grey Italian Velvet
By B&B Italia
Located in Barrowford, GB
This is an iconic “Ray” Sectional L-Shape Sofa (composition RY002) from the world renown Italian furniture house of B&B Italia.
In a world of temporary pleasures, B&B Italia create beautiful furniture that remains a joy forever.
Recently recovered in a most-gorgeous and tactile short-pile Italian-velvet fabric in a pale silver/grey. Whilst being as robust and hard-wearing as rhino skin, its softness and texture (as illustrated in the close-up image provided) is simply divine to the touch. Supplied with numerous complimenting back cushions.
This piece is in pristine, immaculately-maintained condition, having seen light, irregular use since its recent renovations. Its handsome order reflects the TLC and considerate use afforded it at its previous home and, aside from some light-marking to the painted finish of the legs, is as unmarked and beautifully-presented as you could possibly hope to find.
Please view the images provided to confirm its exceptional condition and beguiling appearance. It is as fine-a-conditioned, stunningly-coloured example of this seating icon as you could hope to acquire.
In its current condition, it would meet the requirements of even the most-particular and, for someone looking for a piece of high-design to position at the heart of family life, it is truly heaven sent! This superb piece possesses all the beauty and majesty of the finest contemporary furniture money can buy.
Dimensions-wise, when configured as an L-Shape, it measures 331cm across its back, 160cm along the shorter...
