Pablo Outdoor

The Pablo armchair by Vincent Van Duysen, with its decisive design and innovative proportions, is available in an outdoor version, breathing life into a series that includes an armchair in two depths, sofa, and footrest. The soul of the original project lies in the wood frame, which for Pablo Outdoor is made of teak, the ideal material for outdoors. The geometry of the supporting frame presents a sophisticated balance of straight and curved lines, but this is not just an aesthetic choice. In fact, the frame, with its uninterrupted surface, was designed to ease maintenance of the wood, which is easy to treat as necessary. The rear fabric panels are anchored to rods that can be removed easily. This is also an aesthetic choice that meets a technical solution aimed at simplifying care for the wood and maintenance of the textile parts. These design expedients allow customers choosing the Pablo Outdoor collection to let it age naturally or have it returned its original condition. The continuity of the form and quality of the wood make Pablo Outdoor particularly pleasant to the touch. Comfort and softness are also found in the deep seat and back enhanced with cushions that can be arranged freely. The low seat is composed of a single generously upholstered cushion, nearly a mattress that creates an ample area perfect for isolating yourself or sharing moments of conviviality.

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.

1973

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.
