B&B Italia Outdoor – 50 Years of design excellence
B&B Italia Outdoor has been redefining outdoor living for over five decades, seamlessly blending the sophistication and comfort of indoor furniture with contemporary exterior spaces.
Pioneering the market since the 1970s, the brand launched its outdoor division in 1975 through Compagnia delle Filippine, in collaboration with longtime partners Afra and Tobia Scarpa. Traveling to the Philippines to study local materials and craftsmanship, together they fused traditional weaving techniques with innovative Italian design – laying the foundation for the now iconic and highly collectable Basilan-1 Series and a bold new vision for outdoor furniture.
Through ongoing innovation and collaboration with leading designers, B&B Italia continued to push boundaries. In 2007, the launch of B&B Italia Outdoor marked a new chapter, debuting with Patricia Urquiola’s now-iconic Canasta collection – blending traditional wicker techniques with contemporary materials and design.
Since then, collaborations with renowned designers like Antonio Citterio and Piero Lissoni have led to celebrated collections including Crinoline, Mirto and Borea. Each range continues to reflect the brand’s commitment to innovation, quality, timeless design and sustainability.
Featured in luxury hotels worldwide, including the Edition Hotels, Bvlgari Hotels, and Mandarin Oriental Hotels to name a few, B&B Italia Outdoor offers more than furniture – it delivers a complete outdoor living experience. With a legacy of excellence and a future driven by innovation, the brand continues to set new standards in contemporary outdoor design.
