Specifications:
Minimalism and basic lines mark long upholstered benches, with or without back, which convey a sense of comfort and weightlessness. The back, which look small in comparison to the seat, ends with a short fold-back part at the top on which to rest the arms comfortably while seated. A curved joint shaped like a quarter-circle enables to combine benches of different sizes, with or without backs, to create seats of various lengths and shapes, producing original landscapes in public areas. In addition, an elegant wooden board can be placed on the seat to act as a top or service element.

Sinuously enveloping and designed to extend the existing collection of armchairs and ottomans of the same name, the Harbor two-seater sofa stands out for its sculptural, ergonomic shape, made possible by a frame in polyurethane foam typical of the B&B Italia design culture. Whether upholstered in fabric or in leather, Harbor comes with a visible metal zipper at the rear of the backrest, a decorative trim that allows the cover to be removed.

Although small in size, the Piccola Papilio armchair ensures exceptional comfort. The backrest is designed as two “wings” that support the back and welcome the user with the graceful movement of a butterfly, or “papilio” in Latin. Upholstered either in fabric or leather, the armchair stands out for its fluid, truncated cone shape and for the zipper placed on the backrest, a decorative and functional feature common to the entire Papilio series.

Specifications:
Harbor Laidback is a versatile and innovative armchair that redefines the concept of relaxation continuing the tradition of the Harbor armchairs, a classic it shares the origin of the inverted truncated cone shape and the harmonious and flowing line. Equipped with a swivel aluminium base with four spokes, Harbor Laidback has an unprecedented mechanism, perfectly hidden in the frame, that allows the simultaneous movement of the backrest and the seat. To control the movement, all you have to do is operate a lever strategically placed between the cushion and the armrest: once you have reached the most comfortable position, you release the lever and the backrest stops at the desired angle. To increase the feeling of well-being, the seat accompanies the backrest and moves almost unnoticeably. Harbor Laidback also features a height-adjustable upholstered headrest, distinguished by its distinctive counterweight, and can be combined with a cosy matching footrest and a round ottoman with removable wood tray. The upholstery is available in leather or fabric embellished with an elegant saddle stitch that recalls the sophistication of saddlery and underlines the harmony of the shapes. The zip that crosses the backrest is an aesthetic and functional element that once again reveals the harmony with the Harbor family. In terms of form and materials, the identity of Harbor Laidback is born hybrid, adaptable to work environments as well as purely domestic spaces. The calibrated proportions and the height of the top of the seat make Harbor Laidback the ideal place to use a computer or tablet, to have a video call or enjoy a movie, to concentrate on a report or to retreat with a good book.

Grande Papilio is an armchair that welcomes you gracefully – with the graceful movement of a butterfly, or “papilio” in Latin. Marked by a strong personality fluidly designed around an upside-down truncated cone, the generously large upper section of the backrest and the welcoming and sinuous shape of the seat ensure utmost comfort to the user. The backrest, characterised by a visible zipper that allows the cover to be removed, is designed as two wings that envelop and protect the head, emphasising the feeling of comfort and offering peace and tranquillity. Upholstered in either fabric or leather, Grande Papilio is fitted with a swivelling system and can be complemented by a matching ottoman serving as a footrest, for total relaxation. Grande Papilio is a highly iconic product that has given life to a complete series, inclusive of chairs, small armchairs and a bed.

Enveloping and sinuous, the Harbor armchair with armrests stands out for its sculptural design. It comes in two ergonomically designed versions: a relaxing armchair with a high backrest and headrest, and another with a low back fostering conversation. Both come with a swivel base and a visible metal zipper on the rear of the backrest, allowing the cover to be removed. The armchairs can be matched with an ottoman, onto which a tray can be rested for use as a small table. The series also includes a two-seater sofa.

Forming part of the iconic seating collection of the same name, the Papilio Shell chair comes either with a shell entirely in polypropylene or with a polypropylene shell padded and covered in fabric or leather. The base comes in several versions: with four steel or wooden legs, with a swivel four-spoke frame, or with a fixed four-spoke frame with wheels. The shape of the back of Papilio Shell calls to mind the multicoloured wings of a butterfly ready to take flight. It is this detail that inspired the name, “papilio” being the Latin term for butterfly.

Specifications:
A chair and stool in two heights, Papilio can be used in formal contexts, while also allowing for a more informal use by leaning on one of the back’s “wings”, inspired by those of a butterfly (or “Papilio” in Latin). The formal balance derives from the constant thickness of the shell and from the shape of the seat, which is sinuous in the upper part and then merges with the light steel frame. Upholstered in either leather or fabric, Papilio’s cover can be removed using a metal zipper on the back, a functional and decorative detail that characterises the entire line of chairs of the same name.

Upholstered either in fabric or leather and suited to both residential and public spaces, Mini Papilio echoes the characteristics of the iconic Grande Papilio armchair, only on a smaller scale. The playful design features a swivel base allowing 360 degree rotation with automatic return to the pre-set position. The image is that of a chair that welcomes you gracefully – with the graceful movement of a butterfly, or “papilio” in Latin. Fluidly designed around an upside-down truncated cone, the welcoming and sinuous shape of the seat and back ensures utmost comfort to the user. The wings that extend beyond the sides of the chair emphasise the feeling of comfort by supporting the hips and back.
