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.
Timeless, resistant and durable, both from a formal and a physical point of view, the Mirto Outdoor chairs express an elegance that transcend time and fashions. They come in a fixed version, with or without armrests, and in a folding version, reinterpreting the classic director’s chair. They feature a light aluminium frame and a seat and back in Batyline® Canatex mesh, whose hemp fibre confers a surprisingly natural look compared to the plastics usually used in this sector. The edges are expertly cut, sewn and glued around the profiles to create a minimalist décor. Mirto Outdoor is a complete series of outdoor furniture inclusive of chairs, armchairs, loungers, dining tables and furnishings.
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.
