In line with the concept of continuous growth and evolution, the B&B Atoll collection has been extended with the new B&B Atoll Soft sofa. Alongside the classic version now stands a new version, with even softer shapes and cushions. In terms of appearance, B&B Atoll Soft stands out for its more informal look arising from a more accentuated roundness and bevelled edges, offering a promise of comfort further confirmed by the brand new upholstery.

Concept
«B&B Atoll is a versatile collection that reinterprets traditional elements, like the bolster, associating them with a sleek, refined structure that fits smoothly into the contemporary language. It is versatile because it can be used in a wide range of settings, from the most formal, when partnered with the armchairs, to informal situations, thanks to the possibility of creating an L-shaped configuration with the daybed as end element.»
