Pablo

The B&B Italia 2019 collection introduces Pablo, a new seat by Vincent Van Duysen.‎ Its strengths are comfort and firmness, which combine to form high-impact aesthetic and structural solutions.‎ Pablo has a double thick leather layer with light seat padding which is barely visible but capable of ensuring comfort.‎ The appealing shape is defined by an accentuated depth and a slightly inclined front: Pablo suggests new proportions, calibrated to the millimetre, which make this seat an innovative meeting point between small armchair and chaise longue.‎ The structure wraps around the body and is suspended.‎ It appears to be flying because it is simply fitted into the backrest and inserted into the armrests.‎ The designer’s meticulous attention to detail found a true ally in B&B Italia Research & Development Centre which understands that the most essential products require a lot of work and special care.‎ The result is noticeable in the constant play between the straight and curved lines, the relationship between the lightness of the wood, the strength of the raw-cut leather and the structural elements’ vertical shape being softened by a curved section.‎ Like a suspended bridge or a flying carpet, this gentle object conceives a new visual and perceptive balance which is elegant and comfortable.‎ Technical information – Frame solid wood – Internal shell Bayfit® flexible cold shaped polyurethane foam and glass fibre – Ferrules felt – Cover thick leather
