Fratina is inspired by those classic chairs with rush seats. In Emilio Nanni's reinterpretation, the designer exaggerates its lines, the legs have a round section and the backrest, attached to the rear legs, is generous to the point of becoming a semicircle in the armchair version. The seat is available in fabric, leather, leather straps or woven cellulose cord, which simulates the ancient processing of rush wickerwork. Awarded the Red Dot Design Award in 2016, Fratina is quintessentially Billiani - a chair in perfect balance between tradition and experimentation.

VERETTA
Soft lines and simple geometry describe the contours of the Veretta chair, characterized by the feature ring in curved solid beechwood that surrounds the seat and houses the backrest.
Fleuron
In the Fleuron chair and lounge chair by Constance Guisset the rationality of the design, based on the idea of a buttress that reinforces a wall, meets the softness of a curved line.
Archetype-A
Archetype-A is a wooden chair designed by Mario Alessiani that celebrates the company’s origins and know-how. The design is as simple as possible. Nothing more than four legs, a seat and a back.
CROISSANT
Billiani opened up to the world of upholstery with a rich collection that includes side, arm and lounge chairs, barstool, sofa, pouf, bench and table.
Stella
A solid and reassuring chair with a back that embraces, ending with two decisive cuts inspired by the points of a star.
MARIMBA
For the unprecedented combination of wood and leather, Marimba is a novelty in the Billiani collection.
FRISÉE TABLES
Cristina Celestino’s soft and enveloping touch exalts Billiani’s materials and know-how with pure colours, corners that turn into delicate curves, and bulbous leg-ends. Variously sized
COROLLA TABLES
The Corolla tables maintain the soft and harmonious lines of the main Corolla seating collection.
SPY
Spy is an extensive and complete collection of chairs, lounge chairs, armchairs, tables and coffee tables. Its leitmotif is the design of the leg, which tapers and is slightly splayed.
RAQUETTE
The Cristina Celestino designed Raquette collection pays homage to the ancient technique of intertwining wooden slats.
FRISÉE
Frisée is a collection that combines the solidity of wood with an ironic and joyful frivolity.
Flow
Flow is a short compendium of the history of the chair – a perfect combination of Italian tradition and the Scandinavian aesthetic of the 1950s and 1960s.
