Luxury Guide

This year, some of the company's most prolific designers have set their pencils to paper to release some of their most eye-catching and sense-arresting pieces to date. Full of bold colors and sleek, sexy lines, B&B Italia's latest releases are both inviting and thoughtful.

The collection kicks off with the provocative Jean sofas by famed Antonio Citterio. With a project centered on ergonomics and comfort, it's no surprise that the final product practically begs you to take a load off and enjoy the amply cushioned couch.

While the other, more commonly neutral toned pieces are present in the 2009 designs, you can't mention Antonio Citterio's bright colors without then heading toward the rich plum Grande Papilio-Awa. Immediately striking and throught-provoking, the chair is the big brother to the original Papilio chair. Esteemed designer Naoto Fukasawa has created a fluid design carved from the trunk of an upside-down cone, allowing the chair to expand and bloom as the eye travels upward. The Grande Papilio-Awa rests on a swivel system, integrating the chair into the room and making movement a design element.
