Made in Italy

Charles Sofa by Antonio Citterio for B&B Italia is a tribute to Charles Eames, the American designer, architect, and film director who sustained: “The details are not the details. They make the design”. This concept is enough to tell the story of Charles Sofa, B&B Italia’s longest and best seller. Its design strength shows in the details: the upside-down L foot and the slender raised base both confer a quality of lightness to the sofa.

A NOD TO MID-CENTURY DESIGN

An iconic, timeless design embodying a contemporary lifestyle, the Charles Sofa owes its success to the research and innovation that went into its creation and to its resulting Eames-inspired aesthetic.

Overview

Charles Sofa by Antonio Citterio for B&B Italia is a leading piece in contemporary lifestyle — a reference model in the world of design. Its light image accentuated by the essential design of the die-cast aluminum feet makes Charles a sofa with a decidedly contemporary look, a product of great formal elegance that goes well beyond current times and fashions. The spatial concept behind the project is innovative — a system that can be used to create new compositions, including two or three-seat sofas, sofas with a chaise longue addition, and a corner sofa.
