Warm and comfortable, Husk-Sofa is born from the overturning of the traditional construction process of a sofa: it is in fact its soft and flexible parts that have structural qualities. It has a deep seat and comes in two sizes. Its important volume is made lighter by the supports available in different finishes, while the loose down cushions increase its comfort. Refined and informal at the same time, Husk-Sofa revisits the tradition of Chesterfield sofas and addresses the theme of capitonné quilting in a contemporary version.

The Tufty-Time sofa series, one of B&B Italia’s most consolidated successes, finds effective answers to the themes of modularity, comfort and removable covers. The Tufty-Time modular system starts with an ottoman as the basic piece, which is then accompanied by central, corner and terminal elements with a low or high armrest. The elements are used to invent traditional sofas, sofas with chaise longue, corner sofas and island elements that provide a 360° seating solution. Cosy in its more accentuated depth, Tufty-Time becomes a meeting place, a welcoming refuge where people can just relax. With its fabric or leather upholstery, Tufty-Time offers a more contemporary take on the traditional Chesterfield and capitonné sofas, with a freer and more informal lifestyle.

Blocked and supported by the legs, the entirely upholstered and lined panels display a concave plastic surface on the outside, which visually moves the elements and enhances their effect of lightness. The types originated from this system include a small two-seater sofa in two different sizes and a small three-seater sofa in two different sizes.

A development of the Tufty-Time system, Tufty-Too – in fabric or leather – stands out for a perceptible feeling of softness along with a decorative quality based on a high-quality tailoring finish. This contemporary proposal makes reference to the ‘60s and’ 70s: the citation of the capitonné style lies in the matching or contrasting hues of the cover seams, which become a distinctive feature. The entire line is marked by exceptional modularity and absolute compositional freedom. Numerous elements make up the system, starting with an ottoman as the basic piece, which is then accompanied by central, corner and terminal elements with a low or high armrest. These elements are used to invent traditional sofas, sofas with chaise longue, corner sofas and island elements that provide a 360° seating solution.

Specifications:
Bend-Sofa is a modular sofa with a great personality. It seems to have been moulded by an artist’s hand, but actually originates from the study of 3D models and digital research. Its irregular shape enhances comfort. The very name Bend-Sofa effectively expresses the idea of movement obtained by the alternation of solids and voids, underlined by the contrasting stitching that gives rise to a further design on its irregular and sinuous surface. The corrugated modules, assembled starting from seat, ottoman and corner elements, develop a large number of configurations, from linear versions in compact dimensions to large compositions, as well as original and alternative solutions that stand outside traditional canons.

Comfortable, with a modern combination of base and seat, it picks up the profile of the namesake armchair. The body, which is shaped with a design that cites the capitonné style, conveys a feeling of softness; the cushions, in fabric or leather, fixed with press studs, are distinguished by the quilting.
