B&B Italia, Novedrate, Italy, Published January 2008. Wraps, 139 pp.; 23 cm; text in Italian, English, French, German, and Spanish; illustrated throughout with full-color photography by Fabrizio Bergamo. Fourth edition in the B&B Italia Home series.
In Very Good condition. Glossy black pictorial paper covers have light bumping and creasing to edges and corners, with mild surface wear and some color loss along edges and spine. Binding is tight. Pages are clean and unmarked. An in-house lookbook from the Italian luxury furniture house B&B Italia, featuring their contemporary collections staged in international interiors. The photography moves between themed vignettes ("Shades of Grey" opens the book) and full-room scenarios, with a detailed product index at the back. Pieces shown include Antonio Citterio's Mart armchair, Arne seating system, Fat Sofa, and Domus storage, along with Zaha Hadid's Moon System sofa. B&B Italia was founded in 1966 by Piero Ambrogio Busnelli in Novedrate; its Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers-designed headquarters (1973) remains an icon of industrial architecture. The Home series is a periodic publication distributed largely through showrooms and the design trade, making earlier editions progressively harder to locate.
