The Tobi-Ishi collection by B&B Italia, designed by Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby in 2012, is inspired by the ornamental stones of Japanese gardens, from which it also derives its name. This line includes dining tables and coffee tables characterized by a sculptural design, with cantilevered tops and trapezoidal bases arranged orthogonally, creating an appearance that varies depending on the observation point. The available finishes range from concrete to marble, from wood to matt or glossy lacquers in different shades, allowing for refined customizations.
B&B Italia
Founded in 1966, B&B Italia is an Italian company that is a leader in the international design furniture sector, both domestic and collective. Its headquarters are located north of Milan and boasts a prestigious building designed in 1972 by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers. Its furniture, sofas, armchairs and even outdoor products have contributed to writing the history of Italian design, spreading the “Made in Italy” on international markets. It is precisely from the alchemy between creativity, innovation and industrial capacity that modern furnishing elements emerge, highly distinctive and characterised by great quality and “timeless” elegance.
Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby
Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby founded their eponymous studio in 1996 after graduating with a Masters in Architecture from the Royal College of Art in London. Much of Barber and Osgerby's early work involved the folding and shaping of sheet material, influenced by the blank paper they had frequently used in architectural model making.
