Ligne Roset Ottoman Swivel Chair

While working on a concept for a hotel in Marrakech, the designer had the idea for this model, inspired by the traditional Moroccan footstool. The hotel was not completed, but the “zenitude,” comfort, and well being brought the chair to fruition. Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance, through his work with quilting and color, brought the creative “added-value” which has rooted this model in modernity.

B&B Italia Camaleonda Sofa

B&B Italia Ayana Outdoor Furniture

Minimalist and innovative, the Ayana collection becomes a new chapter in the story that connects B&B Italia to Naoto Fukasawa. It sees wood as the protagonist, interpreted in an unusual way, with a pleasant oriental touch.
