B&B Italia stands at the forefront of contemporary design, blending architectural precision with innovative materials to create pieces that shape the way we live. Founded in 1966, the brand has consistently redefined interiors, producing furniture that is both functional and sculptural. At Bazaa, we curate standout examples from B&B Italia, showcasing how these iconic pieces can transform modern Australian homes.
When choosing B&B Italia for your space, focus on proportion, materials, and placement. Each design is made to complement rather than overwhelm, working seamlessly with both minimalist and layered interiors. Below, we highlight four product categories that embody the spirit of the brand.
Sculptural Comfort: B&B Italia Sofas
B&B Italia sofas embody comfort without sacrificing design integrity. They are known for their modularity and architectural form, making them versatile in open-plan living. Le Bambole Sofa, designed by Mario Bellini, is a modern icon. With its soft contours and casual elegance, it balances bold form with inviting comfort. Upholstered in textured bouclé, it suits contemporary Australian homes where warmth and sophistication meet.
For a more experimental take, Patricia Urquiola’s Bend Sofa offers fluid lines and irregular modules that encourage creative configurations. Its presence works beautifully in large living areas, providing both comfort and visual dynamism.
Icons of Design: B&B Italia Armchairs
B&B Italia armchairs are designed to be statement-making yet inviting, creating focal points in living rooms, studies, or reading nooks. The Lazy Chair by Patricia Urquiola embodies this philosophy. With a polished steel frame and removable covers, it offers three seating variations: high back, low back with or without arms, and a stool version. This flexibility makes it easy to adapt to different interiors and levels of comfort.
For a sleeker profile, the Metropolitan ’14 Armchair by Jeffrey Bernett features a fluid silhouette and swivel base. Its understated elegance makes it equally suitable for residential lounges or refined office spaces.
Refined Dining: Chairs that Elevate the Table
Dining chairs by B&B Italia enhance the atmosphere of shared meals without compromising comfort. They prioritize elegant proportions and subtle details. The Melandra Dining Chair by Antonio Citterio is defined by its slim frame and upholstered leather seat. Its balance of lightness and durability makes it a versatile choice, pairing well with both glass and timber dining tables.
In contrast, Paolo Piva’s Arcadia Dining Chairs from the 1980s celebrate geometry and structure. With their angular frames and rich upholstery, they bring architectural clarity to dining spaces.
Centrepiece Living: The Coffee Table
B&B Italia coffee tables are designed as both everyday surfaces and form-driven anchors for living areas. The Nix Coffee Table embodies this approach. With its graphic steel base and marble top, it balances lightness and solidity, working beautifully in pared-back interiors as well as alongside statement seating.
B&B Italia continues to redefine contemporary design, creating iconic pieces that are deeply connected to the way we use our homes. Each piece, from expansive sofas to sculptural armchairs, stylish dining chairs and elegant coffee tables, demonstrates the brand’s commitment to innovation and craftsmanship.
