HUSK - Armchairs

Designer: Patricia Urquiola

A HARD SHELL IN HIREKЁ AND A SERIES OF SOFT CUSHIONS: THESE ARE THE BASIC ELEMENTS OF THE HUSK ARMCHAIR. A CELEBRATION OF SOFTNESS, HUSK IS THE RESULT OF A LONG DEVELOPMENT PROCESS TO CREATE A VERSATILE ARMCHAIR THAT IS BOTH UNIQUE IN ITS OWN RIGHT AND ABLE TO COMPLEMENT EVEN THE MOST CLASSIC SOFAS. THREE TYPOLOGIES OF CUSHION ARE AVAILABLE: STANDARD, LARGE AND VERY LARGE OR WITH A HEADREST. A OTTOMAN FOOTREST IS ALSO AVAILABLE. PLAYING ON THE WIDE RANGE OF COLOURS AND FINISHES OF THE SHELL (IN FOUR-TONED RECYCLED PLASTIC MATERIAL), THE SWIVEL BASE-FRAME WITH FOUR SPOKES (IN BLACK PAINTED, BRUSHED LIGHT OAK OR GREY OAK FINISH) AND COVERS (NUMEROUS TYPES OF LEATHER OR FABRIC), HUSK CAN RADICALLY CHANGE ITS APPEARANCE, FROM A SINGLE COLOUR TO AN EXTREMELY BRIGHT OR SUBTLY ELEGANT STYLE. WITH THIS PROJECT, B&B ITALIA EMBRACES THE THEME OF ECOLOGY BY USING BOTH RECYCLED AND RECYCLABLE MATERIALS, AND COMPONENTS THAT CAN BE FULLY DISASSEMBLED IN FUTURE - THUS SIMPLIFYING THE RECYCLING PROCESS AND REDUCING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT.
