B&B Italia

The Noonu upholstery system designed by Antonio Citterio for B&B Italia was born from a basic idea common to previous collections – a cylinder that acts as an armrest and freely supported cushions – which evolves into a more organic, dynamic and flexible interpretation of the theme. The new elements of Noonu are the seat, deep and apparently suspended, which reaches the ground, where the four basic geometries of the module – a square shape, a rectangular and two new types of curved elements defined ‘piano’ and ‘sail’ – hide the supporting structure from view, while a single large seat cushion provides extreme comfort and an inclined backrest is designed to accommodate cushions at will. To give further character to the proposal, a roller cushion bound by sophisticated belts to a die-cast aluminum structure to be housed under the seat cushion. This element can be freely used as armrest terminal element or as headrest, to be inserted between the seats or removed according to the occasions of use. Each component of the system is of course optional in various finishes and coverings that also provide a new fabric in 12 color variants.
