Diese in zwei Größen erhältliche Sitzmöbelserie hat eine einladende, konkave Form, die mit verschiedenen Gestellen Gesamtkompositionen unterschiedlichen Charakters bilden kann. Aus der Kombination dieser Elemente entstehen Sessel, die innerhalb der Wohnung unterschiedliche Verwendung finden. Ihrem Entwurf geht eine lange Testphase im Bereich der Technologie des thermogeformten Leders voran. Die Ausgangsbasis ist eine Schale aus Kunststoff, die in eine Pressform für die Kaltschäumung des Polyurethans eingelegt wird, um verbesserte Elastizität und Komfort zu erhalten.

Concept
Experimentation and research are at the basis of the project of small and large Mart armchairs, which were made with a new production technology using thermoformed leather. The footwear sector was the source of information consulted by the B&B Italia Centro Ricerche & Sviluppo, always careful to identify materials and technologies that respond the best to the peculiarities of individual projects. This is how thermoformed leather became a distinctive feature of Mart.
The line consists of two types of chairs: one smaller and one wider. Three bases are contemplated: swivel (with a disk or cross base) and with a structure that allows the shell a double posture position which is more less inclined with just a simple manual movement.
A product with a strong personality, Mart has a silhouette imprinted to convey the idea of relaxation. Only a few symbols were used for the creative advertising campaign to support the launch.
