Love Papilio by B & B Italia

Sophie Burton - Saturday, August 18, 2012


The latest edition to the Papilio furniture family is the Love Papilio sofa. Unveiled at Salone del Mobile in Milan earlier this year, the sofa was designed by Naoto Fukasawa for B & B Italia, and expands on the design of the Grande Papilio armchair, its form enveloping its occupants with a broad backrest and sinuous curves. Designed for two people, the chair takes its shape from the wings of a butterfly as it takes flight.

B & B Italia is available locally at Matisse.
