Liagò

Ideal for the dining and living areas, the Liagò collection consists of two low storage units with doors and drawers and a tall storage unit with hinged or flap doors. Defined by clear lines and increased thicknesses, these units are inspired by the Venetian architectural element (an outdoor loggia made of wood, often featuring a marble floor) after which they have been named. Just like a building, the 50mm-thick frame of the units hides a functional soul: side and back panels are assembled by means of a “folding” mechanism to create an internal compartment, allowing the passage of electrical cables and other elements. This means that the units can accommodate power supply cables and connections for televisions, monitors, lamps, speakers and other wired devices. Whether placed directly on the floor or raised on steel feet, the Liagò storage units are available in different woods and lacquered in numerous glossy and satin shades, with the marble option for the tops. The interiors are covered with a silky, anti-scratch, anti-fingerprint, matt anthracite material, while the shelves are made of smoked etched glass. The project also includes drawers with an incredibly thin frame and accessories such as pull-out trays in grey Canaletto walnut, guaranteeing additional customisation and versatility. Liagò can be equipped with an internal lighting system and one for the high storage unit’s open compartment. This solution underscores the exceptional elegance of the interiors and allows the objects contained therein to be displayed at best.

Story

Milestones

1966

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.

1966

Coronado by Afra & Tobia Scarpa

Afra and Tobia Scarpa's Coronado is launched in the founding year — an iron frame matched with cold-moulded polyurethane foam, signature of the new manufacturing approach.

1969

UP series — an icon of modernity

Gaetano Pesce's UP series is launched: the first armchair born to be shipped flat in a vacuum-packed box. UP5_6 becomes one of the brand's signature pieces.

1972

Novedrate headquarters by Piano + Rogers

B&B Italia's purpose-built headquarters open in Novedrate, designed by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers on a free-plan, expandable modular structure — a full-scale prototype of ideas the architects later realised at the Centre Pompidou.

1972

Le Bambole by Mario Bellini

Bellini's Le Bambole sofa series is launched — a metal frame wrapped in generous polyurethane padding that eliminates the rigid silhouette. It will go on to win the Compasso d'Oro in 1979.

C&B becomes B&B Italia

Busnelli purchases Cassina out of the joint venture; the company is renamed B&B Italia and inaugurates its new Piano + Rogers headquarters.
