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.
A brand new element in the Noonu archipelago is the bed. Its lines echo the design of the sofa, in particular the headboard, an element that instantly stands out for its understated grandeur, attracting the eye and enveloping the body. In pure Noonu style, the underlying frame is slightly suspended off the ground as if floating on the floor. At the base of the bed we find the usual metal profile in curved aluminium, available in bright brushed, black chromed and pewter grey versions. As with the whole Noonu range, the bed can be covered in leather or fabric. For ease of movement, the bed can rest on four fixed feet or on two fixed feet and two wheels, positioned inside the frame to remove them from view.
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.
