Charles Outdoor

Thirteen years after its debut in the B&B Italia collection, the Charles sofa system – a long-time bestseller for the company – is being introduced in a new outdoor version: Charles-outdoor.‎ Characteristics that made it a classic of pure contemporary taste have been left unchanged.‎ The system will have the same slim frame, flexibility and signature design of the inverted “l” shape aluminium feet.‎ The new piece maintains the beauty and simplicity of the original project while also evolving gracefully for practical outdoor use – the piece is lightweight thanks to its slim aluminium frame and has an external surface created by open weave polypropylene bands.‎ The range of sofas, terminal elements and chaise-longue pieces – made up of 9 elements of various styles and sizes – expands with a small armchair and a reclining cot.‎ The dove brown bands match the fabric covers of the seat cushions.‎ The three sizes of back cushions can mirror the neutral shade of the frame or coordinate with lively, brilliant colours from the new outdoor fabric collection.‎ To improve and guarantee greater protection from weather, B&B Italia has treated all fabrics in the collection, as well as those used for the internal part of the cushions, with advanced water-repellent techniques.‎
