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.
Born in Bazzano, Bologna in 1955. Architect, designer, artist. He has displayed his works at numerous private exhibitions, and his design works are on display in many Italian and international state and private collections.
MARIMBA
Emilio Nanni
2018
FRISÉE
Frisée is a collection that combines the solidity of wood with an ironic and joyful frivolity.
Flow
Flow is a short compendium of the history of the chair – a perfect combination of Italian tradition and the Scandinavian aesthetic of the 1950s and 1960s.
RAQUETTE
The Cristina Celestino designed Raquette collection pays homage to the ancient technique of intertwining wooden slats.
FRISÉE TABLES
Cristina Celestino’s soft and enveloping touch exalts Billiani’s materials and know-how with pure colours, corners that turn into delicate curves, and bulbous leg-ends. Variously sized
CROISSANT
Billiani opened up to the world of upholstery with a rich collection that includes side, arm and lounge chairs, barstool, sofa, pouf, bench and table.
Puccio
The Puccio collection started life based on milking stools, perfectly designless and designer-free seating which, thanks to its functionality, has survived unchanged through the centuries.
Stella
A solid and reassuring chair with a back that embraces, ending with two decisive cuts inspired by the points of a star.
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.
DOLL
The wooden Doll chair, Emilio Nanni’s first commissioned design for Billiani, expresses essentiality with grace and softness.
COROLLA
Cristina Celestino designs a lounge collection with soft and harmonious shapes. The rounded volumes are lightened by the worked wood base, Billiani’s stylistic code.
EDELWEISS
The Edelweiss collection of chairs, stools and lounge chairs is the result of Philippe Bestenheider’s desire to come to terms with wood.
