B&B Italia 2021: NOONU
4/29/2021
With “Noonu”, B&B Italia is advancing the concept of the sofa as an island of comfort. The collection designed by Antonio Citterio scores heavily for both its elegant design and its flexible format.
For this project Chipperfield was particularly concerned with finding versatile, robust seating which would meet rigorous usage requirements while conveying a sense of refined luxury. It is planned to finish the museum seating in leather. This line of research has been combined with another theme that Chipperfield was keen to explore; that of obtaining comfortable soft seating from thin upholstered sections applied to a light and dynamic structure, using advanced industrial production techniques.
