About the Item

This is a rare, impeccable identical pair of “Harry H85” 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 “Gamma” Leather option in a demure, elegant mid-brown. 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 H85’s is in superb, immaculately-maintained condition, having seen light, infrequent use in its previous home and, aside from some light-marking to the seat, arms and legs as you would expect, is entirely free from fault, flaw or damage. Its handsome order reflects the TLC and considerate use afforded it in the past, and is as handsome as is imaginable. Aside from the odd light, superficial mark here and there as mentioned above, is as well-presented as you could ever hope to find. For the avoidance of doubt, please view the numerous images provided to confirm the peerless condition and appearance of the Harry Chair’s offered. In its current state, this pair would easily meet the requirements of the most particular of buyers and, for someone looking for a piece of high-design to position at the heart of their room, it is truly heaven sent! This superb pair possesses all the beauty and majesty you would hope for from some of the finest contemporary furniture money can buy. Dimensions-wise, each H85’s measurements are H-82cm, W-85cm and D-85cm, and the breathtaking seating position this iconic modern-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.
