RESEARCH ABSTRACT: -
CHALLENGE: The showroom also features a unique outdoor collection by B&B Italia. The Gio, designed by Antonio Citterio for B&B Italia in 2016, is a contemporary classic dedicated to living in the open air. With a basic structure of wooden slats, all the padded elements of the sofa have a polyester cover with water-repellent treatment, for better protection from the weather. The fabrics are all certified for resistance to weathering, ultimately maintaining softness for users' enjoyment.
