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.

SPY
Spy is an extensive and complete collection of chairs, lounge chairs, armchairs, tables and coffee tables. Its leitmotif is the design of the leg, which tapers and is slightly splayed.
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.
FRISÉE
Frisée is a collection that combines the solidity of wood with an ironic and joyful frivolity.
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.
RAQUETTE
The Cristina Celestino designed Raquette collection pays homage to the ancient technique of intertwining wooden slats.
Stella
A solid and reassuring chair with a back that embraces, ending with two decisive cuts inspired by the points of a star.
COROLLA TABLES
The Corolla tables maintain the soft and harmonious lines of the main Corolla seating collection.
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.
EDELWEISS
The Edelweiss collection of chairs, stools and lounge chairs is the result of Philippe Bestenheider’s desire to come to terms with wood.
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.
Fleuron
In the Fleuron chair and lounge chair by Constance Guisset the rationality of the design, based on the idea of a buttress that reinforces a wall, meets the softness of a curved line.
