Charles Sofa

B&B Italia Charles Sofa

DESIGNER: ANTONIO CITTERIO

The Charles sofa, characterized by the lightness of its shapes, can be combined in many ways. Covering available in fabric or leather.

The Charles sofa is one of the cornerstones of the B&B Italia collection of sofas and seats for the living area. Born from the pen of Antonio Citterio, who created its design in 1997, Charles is a seat with regular and contemporary lines, ideal both for modern and dynamic living environments, as well as for enriching spaces with a more formal style with beauty and comfort. The feet are in the shape of an inverted L, in polished or painted brushed die-cast aluminum, which give lightness to the seat. Charles is a modular sofa that offers numerous compositional possibilities. As for the upholstery, this sofa is available with leather or fabric cover in different categories.

A landmark in the world of design since its introduction by B&B Italia in 1997, the Charles sofa designed by renown Italian architect and designer, Antonio Citterio, has become synonymous with modern design and represents the standard against which most other sofas are compared. The lightness of the design is brought about by lifting it high off the floor with a fine, highly reflective, inverted ‘L’ shaped foot placed at the extreme corners of the sofa so that it appears to float. Its simple, uncluttered form is perfectly proportioned and easy to integrate into almost any interior. Extremely comfortable, the design includes loose back cushions to soften its otherwise carefully controlled and highly architectural appearance. Over time Charles has grown into an extensive family of elements allowing it to be used in many ways and in different parts of a house or in prestige office interiors.
