Billiani INTRODUCES

MARIMBA

Category: Seating

marimba

For the unprecedented combination of wood and leather, Marimba is a novelty in the Billiani collection. Particularly the shaping of the seat, as well as the back legs, which stretch and tilt slightly to support the shaped leather backrest. A project by Emilio Nanni that has the character of something you might find in a leather goods store, combined with the charm of a hand-crafted object. A felt version is also available.

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.

Billiani

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.

FRISÉE

Billiani

FRISÉE

Frisée is a collection that combines the solidity of wood with an ironic and joyful frivolity.

Fleuron

Billiani

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.
