Details
Antonio Citterio’s Oriente lounge chair and matching ottoman for B&B Italia capture the restrained luxury of late-1980s Italian seating. Fully upholstered in warm cognac leather, the set balances soft architectural volume with low, grounded proportions. Rounded arms, a deep seat and a substantial ottoman emphasise comfort, while a cylindrical lumbar cushion and softened block legs provide sculptural presence without visual heaviness.
The upholstery shows visible wear—heavier than typical—particularly across the seat and arms. While an ideal candidate for reupholstery, it remains completely serviceable exactly as it sits. The set sits between formal lounge seating and the kind of chair suited to long, relaxed use; quietly substantial, comfortable and unmistakably Italian.
Dimensions:
- Chair: 75 cm W x 80 cm D x 94 cm H (seat 40 cm H)
- Ottoman: 76 cm W x 45 cm D x 40 cm H

Design Story
B&B Italia is one of Italy’s most influential design houses, founded in 1966 at a moment when modern furniture was shifting from craft to industry.
From early on, the brand positioned itself differently. Instead of producing decorative furniture, it embraced industrial processes, advanced materials, and a strong collaboration model with designers. This combination allowed it to scale high design without diluting quality, something that was still relatively radical at the time.
Its identity was shaped through long standing partnerships with some of the most important figures in modern design. Mario Bellini brought sculptural softness and emotional form, most famously with pieces like the Camaleonda and Le Bambole, which redefined what comfort could look like. Antonio Citterio introduced a more architectural and disciplined language, resulting in collections like Charles that became staples of contemporary interiors. Later, Patricia Urquiola added a more expressive, modular and playful approach, with designs like Tufty Time that feel both relaxed and engineered.
Beyond individual icons, B&B Italia also developed a dual identity: the experimental, forward looking main line, and Maxalto, a more classical and refined collection that speaks to timeless interiors rather than industrial modernism.
Over time, the brand became a reference point for global design culture. Its pieces are not just furniture but tools for shaping space, often used in architecture driven interiors where proportion, comfort and visual identity all matter equally.
Today, B&B Italia sits in a rare position: part industrial innovator, part cultural archive of modern living, and still actively defining how contemporary homes and public spaces feel rather than just how they look.
