For Design Week 2023, <\/strong>Natuzzi Italia presents Bao, the Mediterranean sofa created in collaboration with Bjarke Ingels Group<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Natuzzi<\/strong><\/p>\n

Natuzzi Italia <\/strong>is returning to Milan Design Week<\/strong> with Bao, the sofa designed by BIG \u2013 Bjarke Ingels Group<\/a>, which will be unveiled at the brand\u2019s flagship store, via Durini, Milan.<\/p>\n

The sofa is part of The Circle of Harmony<\/strong>, a project that Natuzzi Italia started in 2020 with the aim of creating a physical and virtual community of artists, architects and designers contributing to the brand\u2019s stylistic evolution. This creative contamination has already given rise to extraordinary reinterpretations<\/strong> as well as new furnishing proposals designed specifically for lovers of the Mediterranean lifestyle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Mediterranean style and comfort<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Bao sofa draws inspiration from the brand’s early upholstered furniture and recall the comfort and relaxation typical of Mediterranean life<\/strong>. In fact, the arm, seat and back cushions rest gently on the sofa’s internal structure, providing informal and comfortable seating. Bao is a modular system <\/strong>consisting of an armchair <\/strong>module, two- and three-seat versions<\/strong>, and several components<\/strong>, including corner units. The “wrinkles” on the upholstery enhance the soft design and improve the product’s visual and tactile comfort<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
