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.
Pab is a wall system arising from a complex design involving materials and technologies. The project revolves around the concept of shelf, designed based on a very simple idea: that of a sheet folded in half and restrained by light ties, for use as a bookshelf and top. Through clever engineering and high quality materials, the resulting sense of lightness actually hides a very robust system. The concept of the storage unit has thus been developed, using the shelf to create a contemporary design based on aesthetic simplicity, practicality, accessibility and quality details. Besides the shelves, however, Pab also offers a series of traditional units meeting specific storage needs, as well as multi-purpose benches which can also be fitted with drawers. The vast choice of finishes and hues, along with the variety of furnishing elements, make it possible to obtain countless personalised configurations and solutions
