B&B Italia

B&B Italia's uniqueness lies in an unrivaled blend of creativity, innovation and industrial potential. The artful anticipation of trends and expert response to the evolution of taste and the needs of living deliver a collection of contemporary design furnishing, whose premium quality marks an impressive chapter in the history of Italian design.

Founded in 1966 with the entrepreneurial vision of Piero Ambrogio Busnelli, B&B Italia is a leading Italian company in the international world of designer furniture for both home (B&B Italia Home Division) and contract (B&B Italia Contract Division).

The company distinguished itself from its inception for its innovative industrial approach to manufacturing in contrast to the small traditional artisan competitors typical of the sector. Based in Novedrate (Como), north of Milan, the firm’s prestigious headquarters were designed by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers in 1972. The strong relationships with international designers and continual research have always been key factors in the strategic development of the company. The unique elements of each product are the direct result of the on- going research, creativity and quality that form part of the DNA of the company. This approach has contributed to B&B Italia being presented with numerous prestigious awards , including no less than 4 Compasso D‘Oro prizes, the most prestigious honor in the field of Italian industrial design. The company is present on the residential furniture market with both the B&B Italia and Maxalto Collections

The two collections have unique brands and individual identities yet express the same philosophy, namely a balanced blend of innovation and design to create products, whose unique style and elegance are unmistakable. The company's international philosophy is reflected in its products and its significant and wide reaching distribution. Present in more than 80 countries worldwide, it has over the years created an exclusive network of highly professional points of sale. It has also cemented its direct presence with the opening of wholly owned flagship stores in leading capital cities around the world. Due to its leading role in terms of design, quality and prestige, B&B Italia was chosen as a founding member of the Altagamma organization. A distinguished association that brings together leading Italian companies in the luxury sector that are chosen as leaders in their fields and are expressions of the Italian culture and style throughout the world.
