B&B Italia Canasta - Sofa
CANASTA - SOFA
CANASTA - SOFA
Patricia Urquiola, 2007
Vienna straw, with its geometric decorative pattern, is the inspiration behind Canasta. Enlarged to macro proportions, the design is applied to chairs with a striking effect.
The sofas, available in circular and in-line versions, are characterised by ribbons in polyethylene fibre woven on aluminium frames painted with polyester powder to make them weather resistant.
Classic in style but with a contemporary sense of plasticity, Canasta is a hyper-decorative collection, ideal for use at the edge of a swimming pool or in a luxuriant garden. In addition to sofas, the family also includes armchairs, chairs, tables and other elements in various sizes.
