Charles Outdoor

Why the name? Antonio Citterio chose it as a tribute to Charles Eames. The American designer, architect and film director has always maintained that details are not really just details. They are the very things that make or break design. This statement is enough to introduce Charles, a long- and best-selling product from B&B Italia, in which design is clearly stated in the details. From the upside-down L-shaped feet to the thin, raised base. There are two versions for In & Outdoor.

The outdoor version maintains the quality of a project for indoors. The core is in light, solid aluminium, and the exterior surface is a polypropylene tape woven with an orthogonal pattern. The result: Charles Outdoor, a seating system with timeless elegance.

The Charles sofa system is being introduced in an 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 foot. 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 interlacing brown polypropylene ribbon.
