B&B Italia Outdoor Charles

B&B Italia Outdoor

Thirteen years after it's debut and a long-time bestseller in the B&B Italia collection, the Charles sofa system is being introduced in a new outdoor version 'Charles Outdoor'.

Characteristics that made it a classic of pure contemporary taste have been left unchanged. The system will have the same slim frame, flexibility and signature design of the inverted "L" shape aluminium feet. The new piece maintains the beauty and simplicity of the original B&B Italia project while also evolving gracefully for practical outdoor use. The piece is lightweight due to it's slim aluminium frame and has an external surface created by open weave polypropylene bands.

The B&B Italia Outdoor range of sofas, terminal elements and chaiselongue pieces are made up of 9 elements of various styles and sizes. In addition, there is a small armchair and a reclining cot. The dove brown bands match the fabric covers of the seat cushions. The three sizes of black cushions can mirror the neutral shade of the frame or coordinate with lively, brilliant colours from the new B&B Italia Outdoor fabric collection.

To improve and guarantee greater protection from weather, B&B Italia has treated all fabrics in the collection, as well as those used for the internal part of the cushions, with advanced water repellent techniques.

The B&B Italia Outdoor catalogue can be downloaded from the 'Catalogues' section of our website.

The B&B Italia presented 'Tufty-Too' at the international fair week in Milan earlier this year. However, this new model is not to replace it's older relative, 'Tufty-Time', as you may think.

As the name implies, the 'Tufty-Too' (not the 'Tufty-Two'!) is a new model range giving an alternative visual style. More in line with the 'Tufty-Time Leather', which notably has a more evident emphasis on the 'Chesterfield' & 'Capitonné...
