B&B Italia is the leading brand for high-quality Italian design. Founded in 1966 by Piero Ambrogio Busnelli north of Milan, B&B Italia is still family-owned today. The founder pursued an industrial approach and combined this with creativity and innovation. To this day, this mix has resulted in characteristic and timeless design icons that are characterized by first-class quality and elegance. Today, B&B Italia is represented in 80 countries and is constantly winning new awards. The German Design Award, the Red Dot Award, the Wallpaper Design Award and the Compasso d'oro are among the most important awards. The collaboration with internationally renowned designers and architects such as Antonio Citterio, Patricia Urquiola, Marcel Wanders, Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien as well as David Chipperfield and Zaha Hadid is important for the development of new furniture for the private and public sector. 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of B&B Italia.
