or Call to Order

The Ray sofa from B&B Italia is char­ac­ter­ized by its super-luxe uphol­stery that features a contrast­ing blanket stitch around the perime­ter that accen­tu­ates the linear form as well as delin­eates the seat cush­ions and loose back pillows. The illu­sion of levity is created with Citterio’s clever use of inverted U‑shaped runners in bronzed or chrome finish die-cast aluminum that are affixed in the front and back corners span­ning the depth of the sofa. Its loose recti­lin­ear back cush­ions are avail­able in differ­ent sizes and afford differ­ent arrange­ments within sofas or section­als. For quick-ship options, please see the spec sheet to the left or call 800.886.0867 for details.

Antonio Citterio

Italy

Inspired by icons such as Eileen Gray, Charles and Ray Eames, and George Nelson, Italian designer Antonio Citterio has built an extremely successful career in the furniture industry. He’s known for his emphasis on craftsmanship and materiality, a combination that’s defined a longtime partnership with B&B Italia. Citterio has been responsible for designing all new collections by Maxalto since 1993. He ensures that each product, like his Dives sofa or Alcova canopy bed, clearly delineates its function and is comfortable and liveable as much as grand and luxurious.

Born in 1950 in the north Italian city of Meda, Antonio Citterio opened his first office at the age of 22. The architect and designer supposedly had decided on his career path by age 13.

Citterio went on to collaborate with Terry Dwan on architecture projects through the late 1990’s before forming a practice with Patricia Viel that’s today called Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel. Their significant work includes the Technogym headquarters, Bulgari Hotels around the world, Qatar Airways lounges, the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Milan, and the B&B Italia Center for Research in Novedrate, Italy.
