Founded as C&B Italia
Piero Ambrogio Busnelli founds the company in joint venture with Cesare Cassina under the name C&B Italia, in Novedrate (Como), Italy. The new venture introduces cold-moulded polyurethane foam to the home-furniture sector.
The Richard bed is available in different sizes, upholstered either in fabric or in leather. The design is defined by high sides running along the perimeter and by the sartorial detail of the seams with the insertion of a prominent profile. The height of the lateral bed sides makes it possible to use any type of mattress support, from traditional fixed ones to those with a manual headboard and footboard mechanism.
B&B Italia's wood components are sourced through the FSC® Chain-of-Custody licence FSC-C142045 — a chain that documents wood from sustainably managed forests through to the finished piece.
B&B Italia's manufacturing operations are covered by an ISO 9001 quality-management certification — the international standard for documented quality management systems.
