B&B Italia Outdoor Collection 2022

The B&B Italia Outdoor collection has grown and strengthened for 2022, confirming its leadership in the sector. There are many new products around expanded ranges and original products. The elegance and sustainability of Borea continues with a series of sunbeds and seating designed by #pierolissoni, while #vincentvanduysen has imagined an outdoor version of Pablo, the armchair that makes its stylistic mark through comfort, while also presenting a sofa version, a coordinated footrest, and a series of small architectural tables. The textile collection has also expanded, with new types of outdoor fabrics with tones that perfectly balance a desire for colour and sophisticated shades. Wood, aluminium, and cement are the primary materials in the 2022 outdoor collection, showing B&B Italia’s dedication to experimenting more and more in the #design of outdoor living. 

Borea sunbed

design Piero Lissoni

“We have created two types of sun loungers: the first, like the rest of the family, are a bit like landed airplanes and are used for sunbathing by the pool or on the beach. The others are two somewhat mysterious objects, like two large eggs, that can be sun loungers or become sofas or chaise longues.”
— Piero Lissoni
Since its creation, Borea has marked a crucial point for B&B Italia, a clear indication of increasingly sustainable products with high circularity. The collection, designed by #pierolissoni, presents lightness as an aesthetic cornerstone and in its relationship with the environment. Its natural evolution has led to the arrival of two types of sun loungers: Borea sunbed and Borea sunbed lounge.

Borea sunbed is a sun lounger where the frame in curved aluminium tubes creates a shape that seems to fly close to the ground. In harmony with the entire collection, the frame can be painted a tortora colour or white, which are the same tones as in the 
supporting mesh. The back can be reclined via the elegant hinges in precision cast steel, functional elements designed carefully to maintain the continuous lines and a pleasant appearance. Two rear wheels lend character to the overall form and play a highly functional role, guaranteeing easy portability. With a length of 200 cm and a generous 75 cm width, Borea sunbed immediately looks like a sunbed aimed at the utmost comfort. Its comfort can be further enhanced with the addition of a small, upholstered mattress 6 cm thick. The mattress cover can be made from a wide range of outdoor textiles by B&B Italia, another element of flexibility that makes it suitable next to every pool. A delicate balance of oval shapes defines the essence of the Borea sunbed lounge, a small yet surprising series of outdoor lounge sunbeds with character that are impossible to forget. The two objects redefine the category of poolside outdoor seating. The Borea sunbed lounge is available in two versions: chaise lounge and sofa, both featuring a large section of reclinable back. The chaise lounge has an elongated, welcoming form just right for one or two #people lying or reclining. By lowering the back, the chaise longue becomes an island with multiple uses, where you can sit as you wish. The same is true of the sofa, with construction and structural features that are perfect for the pool, the lawn, or even the terrace. The supporting frame of the Borea sunbed lounge is made of curved aluminium tubes, available in white, tortora, and clay colours, supporting a base of fixed slats in aluminium sheet. The 6 cm thick upholstered mattress guarantees comfort and is covered in line with the entire range of B&B Italia outdoor textiles. The Borea sunbed lounge will be the ideal presence in parks and around pools at hotels and resorts, where architects and interior designers can play with arranging the elements as they desire, creating highly sophisticated scenes, and spaces, for every guest to interact and relax.

Pablo Outdoor
design Vincent Van Duysen

“My first collection for B&B Italia’s outdoor line develops the Pablo armchair features and adds layers of softness, and the tables are a link to my architectural world “.
— Vincent Van Duysen
The Pablo armchair by #vincentvanduysen, with its decisive #design and innovative proportions, is available in an outdoor version, breathing life into a series that includes an armchair in two depths, sofa, and footrest. The soul of the original project lies in the wood frame, which for Pablo Outdoor is made of teak, the ideal material for outdoors. The geometry of the supporting frame presents a sophisticated balance of 
straight and curved lines, but this is not just an aesthetic choice. In fact, the frame, with its uninterrupted surface, was designed to ease maintenance of the wood, which is easy to treat as necessary. The rear fabric panels are anchored to rods that can be removed easily. This is also an aesthetic choice that meets a technical solution aimed at simplifying care for the wood and maintenance of the textile parts. These #design expedients allow customers choosing the Pablo Outdoor collection to let it age naturally or have it returned its original condition.The continuity of the form and quality of the wood make Pablo Outdoor particularly pleasant to the touch. Comfort and softness are also found in the deep seat and back enhanced with cushions that can be arranged freely. The low seat is composed of a single generously upholstered cushion, nearly a mattress that creates an ample area perfect for isolating yourself or sharing moments of conviviality. The 210 cm wide sofa interacts with the armchairs in two depths, one more suited to conversation, the other for relaxing as if on a chaise longue. The footrest has a similar teak frame and an upholstered base covered in fabric. Solid and compact, this accessory is also suitable for use as a small service table.

The decisive yet soft lines of Pablo Outdoor seats are perfectly balanced in the small cement outdoor tables. Linear, solid, and highly geometric shapes represent the heart of these architectural objects with a certain effect. To provide multiple solutions, the small Pablo Outdoor tables come in two sizes and two colours. The antiqued white and cement grey colours give shape to a large, low model that works perfectly as an island defining a conversation area, and a higher, narrower model with a square base, is ideal as a service element next to the sofa or armchair

Textiles collection

The B&B Italia Outdoor textiles collection is enhanced with new proposals. Softness and consistency find an ideal balance in interlacing with a pleasant, three-dimensional texture, where the play of contrasting colours creates an original visual dimension. Variations of  the base come in solid colours of clay, tortora, olive green, and blue. A version with a neutral base will also be available, with small squares in which the contrasting pattern creates interesting plays of colour, to be used in harmony or contrasting combination with different elements.
