Space Furniture celebrates the iconic B&B Italia furniture collection within a series of new look interiors at their flagship Sydney showroom – marking a collaboration that began over 30 years ago.
Inspired by B&B Italia’s recently refurbished Madison Avenue store, the new floor at Space includes many of the ingredients that make B&B Italia interiors inspiring – from the wallpapers, metal mesh details, and use of visual imagery, to the brand’s rich cultural history expressed through the workmanship intrinsic to Italian design, craftsmanship and innovation.
“We’re always looking to inspire and be creative and we’re excited to reveal the new floor, which is a testament to our collaborative approach in working with B&B Italia and our ongoing partnership with the iconic brand”
It is also an occasion that provides insights into B&B Italia’s history, the influence they have had on the industry, how they have driven research and developed technology that has shaped the industry since their launch more than 50 years ago.
Fresh from the Milan Furniture Fair, new design pieces include the sculptural Eda-mame designed by Piero Lissoni, and the re-release of designer Paolo Piva’s much loved Alanda coffee table. The now iconic table says everything about the heady 1980s and underpins the depth of design, research, experimentation and collaboration that plays a central in the B&B Italia story.
B&B Italia is available exclusively in South East Asia from Space – Australia – and Space – Asia.
Late last year B&B Italia announced the re-edition of 20 products designed by Luigi Caccia Dominioni, one of Italy’s most admired designers and architects whose love of the Baroque movement’s expressive forms and beautiful details quietly shaped apartment buildings, theatres and public spaces in Milan during the post-WWII period. The addition of this historic collection to their collection marks another step by B&B Italia to preserve Italy’s rich design heritage.
