Sofa - Diesis 40 | B&B Italia

Diesis is not only a B&B Italia classic but an icon of contemporary design. 2019 marks the 40th anniversary of its first appearance - an important landmark which has been celebrated with some design and structural updates. These updates return to the original concept while simultaneously advancing the design towards the future.

The iconic backrest retains its essential and technical integrity-based around the structural steel core, composed of metal springs which give strength and flexibility. The leather-covered base and backrest are just like they were 40 years ago but now have a distinctive Saffiano texture. The supporting structure has a timeless elegance, which underlines Diesis’ harmony with the vision of the great masters of Modernism.

The cushions boast a new leather upholstery (available exclusively for Diesis 40) that accentuates the product’s strength and vigor. This is softened by new and more comfortable padding.

Reinforced seams and other techniques borrowed from saddlery draw attention to the authentic craftsmanship. Lovers of technical details will appreciate the die-cast lenticular elements of the polished brushed aluminum structure and the seat structure which is further reduced by using two leather-covered coupled sheets.

Diesis is the full-fledged expression of contemporary design. Technology and top-quality materials bring out the best in a timeless design. Available in leather or fabric, elegant even from behind with the back designed to proudly declare its flexible frame, Diesis can also be placed in the center of a room.
