The Tufty-Time sofa, designed by Patricia Urquiola in 2005 for B&B Italia, is a modern reinterpretation of the classic Chesterfield and capitonné sofas, designed for an informal lifestyle. Thanks to its modular system, it offers great compositional flexibility: from linear solutions to chaise longue, corner or island configurations, ensuring comfort and versatility. The design stands out for its large, deep seats, perfect for relaxing, and for the fabric or leather upholstery, characterized by large stitched squares.
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.
Patricia Urquiola
Patricia Urquiola, born in Oviedo in 1961, graduated from the Polytechnic of Milan in 1989 with a thesis on "Living as a system", under the guidance of Achille Castiglioni. He began his career with collaborations with designers such as Castiglioni, Botticelli, De Padova and Magistretti. In 2001 he opened his own studio in Milan, now made up of around 70 people, where he deals with the design of objects, interiors, architecture and installations. His work is inspired by the tradition of his land, reinterpreted in a contemporary way.
