Borea

A delicate balance of oval shapes defines the essence of the Borea lounge sunbed, a small yet surprising series of outdoor lounge sunbeds with character that are impossible to forget. The two objects redefine the category of poolside outdoor seating. The Borea lounge sunbed is available in two versions: a chaise lounge and sofa, both featuring a large section of reclinable back. The chaise lounge has an elongated, welcoming form just right for one or two people lying or reclining. By lowering the back, the chaise longue becomes an island with multiple uses, where you can sit as you wish. The same is true of the sofa, with construction and structural features that are perfect for the pool, the lawn, or even the terrace. The supporting frame of the Borea lounge sunbed is made of curved aluminium tubes, supporting a base of fixed slats in aluminium sheet. The 6 cm thick upholstered mattress guarantees comfort and is covered in line with the entire range of B&B Italia outdoor textiles. The Borea lounge sunbed will be the ideal presence in parks and around pools at hotels and resorts, where architects and interior designers can play with arranging the elements as they desire, creating highly sophisticated scenes, and spaces, for every guest to interact and relax. Borea is a complete and eclectic collection of outdoor seats and tables designed by Piero Lissoni. The numerous pieces in the collection have in common tubular metal structures with a fluid and seamless design, without joints and interruptions, captivating and even emerging in the detail that extends to the base. The metal bending processes take advantage of techniques typically used in the aeronautical sector and transport them into the world of outdoor furniture bringing life to a collection with an unmistakable style. The collection includes two- and three-seater sofas, an oversized armchair, a low small armchair and a dining chair, all with stackable aluminum structures painted in dove grey, sage, clay and anthracite colours. Comfort is ensured by generous cushions, which are not only soft and relaxing but were also developed to be sustainable. Paddings are in fact made with polyester fiber filling coming from recycled PET plastic bottles enveloping a different densities polyurethane core. 510 1500 ml bottles are needed to create the padding for a Borea three-seater sofa, 390 bottles for the twoseater sofa, 280 for the armchair. The upholstery is an integral part of the project inspired by the classic striped cotton canvas of yesteryear, which awaken nautical references. The shades range from blue and white in pure martime style, to natural white, a sophisticated grey tone and a fresh aquamarine green. Fabrics with “deckchair� stripes are freely combined with fabrics with thinner stripes and solid colors. Colored profiles, are available in white, blue, grey, aquamarine green and red, giving definition to the upholstery and allowing for a further degree of customization.
