B&B Italia Project is B&B Italia's dedicated contract collection, established in 2006 as its own product line. It was developed drawing on decades of experience with international designers and architecture studios, specifically targeting offices, restaurants, hotels and public spaces. The collection demands the highest resistance to hard use and ergonomic functionality without compromising the brand's aesthetic standards. Many products are modified versions of residential pieces — with adjusted seat and back heights, reinforced structures or simplified upholstery elements for intensive commercial use.
Key products: AC Lounge (Antonio Citterio; contemporary reinterpretation of capitonné for lounge and lobby settings), Posa (David Chipperfield; durable seating collection with a luxury feel), Bankside (Jasper Morrison; originally conceived for the Tate Gallery of Modern Art London, now armchair and sofa for lounge and public spaces), George (Antonio Citterio; formalised variant of the residential model), Metropolitan'14 (Jeffrey Bernett; slimmed proportions, base in polished aluminium), Iuta (Antonio Citterio; swivel office chair and stool with technical grey mesh shell and aluminium frame), Sina (Uwe Fischer; swivel armchair with aluminium base and white thermoplastic upholstered shell), AC Executive (Antonio Citterio; complete solution for executive offices and boardrooms), Progetto 1 (Monica Armani; desk, console and multipurpose table system in chrome-plated steel with glass tops).
For architects and planners who demand design continuity between residential and contract environments, B&B Italia Project is the precise interface — the parent brand's iconic DNA, engineering-optimised for hospitality, office and public space.
