Saké

SAKé signals the beginning of Piero Lissoni’s collaboration with B&B Italia. The design begins from a strongly contemporary seating system distinguished by a careful search for formal balance. Seats in three sizes (175, 210 and 270 cm), with embracing or linear backs and arms of various dimensions added harmoniously to create a sofa adapted to the customer’s space and personal taste. The system is enhanced with a chaise longue element (105 x 135 cm) that lends itself to various interpretations: as the terminal element in a linear composition, with a more enveloping back and with the addition of arms, it can stand on its own or, alongside another chaise lounge, it can create a sofa with deep seating. The details of the cushions and supporting base contribute to the design lightness. The seat cushion has refined modular stitching, ranging from 35 or 45 cm the back cushions, available in two sizes, are outlined by profiled bands. The seating system support base is made of cross-bars with rounded steel legs connected to each other by a bar. All this is finished in pewter lacquer paint. This seating system also offers a sofa bed (150 x 210 cm), the only one in the B&B Italia collection, adopting the other sofas seating and back elements. The interchangeable right or left arm can serve as a headboard when, with a simple translation movement of the seat and the overturning of the back, the sofa becomes a single bed.
