In a world of temporary pleasures, B&B Italia create beautiful furniture that remains a joy forever. Dressed in their divine brown "Gamma" Leather. Whilst being as robust and hard-wearing as rhino skin, its softness and texture is simply divine to the touch. Supplied with numerous complimenting back and scatter cushions. Aside from some light tarnishing to the finish of the chrome legs, and some light (and i mean light!) marks to the leather on the seat and arms, this piece is in superb, immaculately-maintained condition and is as well-conditioned as any you could hope to find. Please view the images provided to confirm its fantastic condition and appearance. As beautifully-presented an original example as you could hope to acquire.

This superb piece possesses all the beauty and majesty of the finest contemporary furniture money can buy. Dimensions-wise, it is a bit of a whopper. When configured, it measures: 312cm wide, is 97cm deep and stands 73cm high. Due to the sectional nature of this piece, rest assured that it dismantles easily into its 2 component sections, so is able to be transported, installed and rebuilt without issue. The breathtaking seating position this iconic modern-design creates is enhanced by the use of sumptuously comfortable, generously upholstered feather-filled back and composite seat cushioning, which leaves you powerless to resist its charms. Costing in excess of £10,000 when new, it represents spectacular value for money, and we have no doubt it will serve and delight its new owner for many years to come.

Antonio Citterio

Driven by his belief that beautiful surroundings can heighten the enjoyment of even mundane everyday rituals, Italian architect and industrial designer Antonio Citterio creates furniture that combines sophisticated form with functionality. Citterio’s timeless neoclassical-inspired chairs, outdoor furniture, desks and other pieces have earned him a place among the most influential furniture designers working in his native country.

Born in 1950 in Meda, Citterio grew up just a stone's throw away from the artistic hub of Milan. In 1972, at just 22 years old, he opened his first design studio and designed a chair for the La Rinascente department store while completing his studies in architecture at the Polytechnic University of Milan. Citterio established a partnership with famed furniture designer Terry Dwan, and the pair worked together during the 1980s and 1990s, designing striking buildings in European cities as well as Japan. He is currently chairperson at an interior design and architecture firm with fellow architect Patricia Viel and eight other partners.

Citterio taught at the Università della Svizzera Italiana in Mendrisio, Switzerland, from 2006 to 2016. He holds art director roles for high-end furniture manufacturers Maxalto, Arclinea and Azucena, and today, Citterio lounge chairs, sofas and other furnishings are in hotels all over the world. Citterio’s work is synonymous with luxury, and has yielded collaborations with reputable brands such as Kartell, Knoll, Flexform, Vitra and B&B Italia. His Sity seating collection for the latter and kitchen furnishings for Arclinea are among his best-known innovations.

Citterio has received many awards and accolades for his design work, including the Compasso d’Oro. He was also given the title of “Royal Designer for Industry” by the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts in 2008.
