The Babà Soft collection by Emilio Nanni is inspired by the traditional Neapolitan cake – simple, brilliant and intoxicating. Its full, generous volume, the archetype of the upholstered chair, is reinterpreted with graceful lines that evoke an elegant simplicity. The handcrafted touch highlights the artisanal quality of the chair, giving it an almost tailored feel. The collection includes an upholstered chair and armchair, lounge chair and ottoman.
An homage to traditional Alpine heritage, reimagined with a contemporary twist. For the Cortina Collection, Fabrizio Gallinaro started from the idea of combining the base of a classic Alpine chair with the curved shell typical of modern Scandi-inspired armchairs. The result of this experimentation is a collection with a Nordic aesthetic and curved lines, whose name celebrates the Queen of the Dolomites, an iconic location in the Italian mountains at the crossroads between myth and legend, nature and culture, tradition and glamour. The chair features a curved, enveloping backrest, while the armchair features a wooden armrest fixed to the seat, onto which the fabric backrest is mounted. A construction detail with a handcrafted feel that reflects Billiani’s woodworking expertise.
A solid and reassuring chair with a back that embraces, ending with two decisive cuts inspired by the points of a star. Both in the chair and in the lounge and stool the backrest is available either fully upholstered or with a wood back, highlighting the material. Designed by Matteo Ragni, Stella has been developed for contract interiors, where it is a discreet presence. The generously padded seat and back are a guarantee of comfort.
In the Wround collection, the tubular steel frame supports a seat and back of comfortable proportions. The concept is repeated in the various versions, which include the chair, the small armchair with armrests, the stool and the lounge chair. All have been designed to meet the needs of areas for entertaining guests that require light, customisable and coordinated seating for the various areas.

Inspired by treatment and well-being centres, the Kursaal armchair embodies pure comfort. The solid structure in wood has an arm designed to be firmly gripped. The seat and back are spacious and comfortable, and fully padded. Kursaal is also available as a chair or in a lower, larger-proportioned lounge version.
Graziella and Renzo Fauciglietti took their inspiration from the pop idol par excellence when designing a collection focusing on being recognisable. The soft, gentle lines make Marilyn a comfortable chair, and even more so in the small armchair version with the curved back. The chair is easy to place. The wooden versions are perfect for socialising and eating together, while the versions with a metal base are more contemporary and therefore more corporate in style.

The Eileen collection is Werther Toffoloni’s tribute to Eileen Grey, one of the first women designers and a pioneer of the international style. The chair and armchair feature construction details that enhance the way the wood has been finished, while the sartorial inspiration for the quilted leather cushioning makes it soft and welcoming, as well as extremely sophisticated.
Studio Pastina has designed a collection of generously proportioned upholstered pieces, designed to bring a new dimension of relaxation into contract settings. The tall seat was inspired by the form of traditional French macarons, and is supported by a distinctive painted steel ring. The collection is completed by occasional tables and accessories like the tall backrest, ideal for creating private areas within larger spaces.
Askew is a chair with a minimalist design. Its geometric inspiration is made warmer and more natural by the solid beechwood frame. Askew comprises a small armchair, armchair and a two-seater sofa. It combines two frames worked in different thicknesses with a comfortable padded seat upholstered in leather or fabric.
