B&B Italia's bold Borea Collection, designed by Piero Lissoni, pairs a modern look with durable outdoor-ready materials. The products are made from high-quality, sustainable materials that are recycled and recyclable, in line with B&B Italia's commitment to sustainable practices. The outdoor furniture collection features elegant tubular frames, glazed lava stone tile tabletops, and polyester fabrics (made from recycled plastic bottles) for the cushion upholstery.
The Borea Collection includes two sofas, multiple armchairs, a dining chair, a dining table, and multiple side tables. All items come in multiple frame, tabletop, and upholstery colors, which include selections such as 'Anthracite' and 'Ocean Blue.' Due to the high-quality materials and construction, furniture in the Borea Collection thrives in the outdoors without the need for constant maintenance from the consumer.
