B&B Italia Baisity Leather Armchair by Antonio Citterio, 1980

A Baisity leather armchair in very good condition with minimal signs of wear. The armchair is characterized by the interplay of several geometric shapes which are perfectly harmonized in this extraordinary design. There is a slight abrasion and pressure mark on the upper edge and the backrest. The seat cushion has a light patina. The armchair has two double castors at the front which make the heavy armchair mobile. The accompanying back cushion with a heavy boucle cover in a beautiful color combination of dark gray and cobalt blue tones is in very good condition.


The Italian manufacturer C&B Italia was founded by Cesare Cassina and Piero Busnelli and completely taken over by Busnelli in 1973. At that time the company was renamed B&B Italia. The Baisity armchair was designed by Antonio Citterio for B&B Italia in 1986 and is one of the Italian design icons.
