B-LINE Outdoor

Try to design intelligently, manufacturing furnishings that are really useful.

B-LINE, besides the several items they consider heritage, manufacture furnishing products for the home, office and contract. The materials they use are plastic, steel, fabric and wood and they are extremely flexible where the technologies to be deployed are concerned.

In this quest of their for the perfect combination between versatility, originality and functionality, B-LINE involved both the creative genius of Karim Rashid as well as the Zen essentiality of Kazuhide Takahama or perhaps the inspiration of a newcomer at his debut: what absolutely counts for B-LINE is the quality of the design. Having singled that out, B-LINE’s team and the designers work hand in hand through to the selection of materials, covering all technical aspects, to turn out products entirely made in Italy.

GEMMA

design Karim Rashid, 2013

In rotomoulded polyethylene, Gemma is a small armchair that recalls the shape of a precious stone.

With its geometric and slightly ironical profile, it provides extremely comfortable seating and, in terms of material and inclination, lends itself equally to both indoor and outdoor use.

WOOPY

design Karim Rashid, 2011

Made from a single rotomoulded polyethylene piece, Woopy is a small but generously-sized armchair which,like the stool with the same name,can also be used outdoors.

For those selecting the indoor version,it is also available in an upholstered version.

CROSSED

design Joe Colombo, 1963

A soft upholstered pouf with contrasting cross stitching, Crossed is available in various sizes, both square-based and rectangular. Multiple elements can be combined to create arrangements of different shapes and colours.

The choice of fabrics makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

HOOP

design Karim Rashid, 2016

HOOP is a distinctive, minimalist yet sensual and lightweight, almost aerodynamic, design, an ergonomically enveloping curve.

As the colours of the rigid polyurethane seat and slender steel tubing or solid turned beechwood legs change, HOOP conveys either restrained elegance or vibrant joy, homely warmth or executive rigour; it is either a patch of pastel colour or a bold stroke of a marker pen.

HOOP becomes the characteristic feature of the area it lives in, it defines the personality of a space, the image of home environments or the traits of the brand in the many solutions it is able to create for the multifarious contract industry.

This is what Karim Rashid says about it: “My mantra of sensual minimalism is exemplified with the Hoop Chair. HOOP is pure simplicity, designed as a soft plane of warm plastic laying over a metal or wood frame.The ergonomic shape creates integrated handle. Hoop leaves you enveloped in calming simplicity, comfort and ease.”

PARK chair

design Neuland Paster & Geldmacher, 2012

Stackable chair in galvanised and painted steel rod, Park is suitable for use both indoor and outdoor, where it reveals its affinity with certain, somewhat vintage, French gardens.

SPLASH

design Kristian Aus, 2010

Splash is a stool whose design is inspired by a raindrop falling to the ground. Made in rotomoulded polyethylene, it has a comfortable seat and when used upside down, doubles as a vase or a capacious container.

ICON

design Matthias Demacker, 2006

A minimalist-style stool with an origami design, Icon is stackable and is made entirely of aluminium with a painted, scratchproof finish.

PARK stool

design Neuland Paster & Geldmacher, 2014

In galvanised and painted steel rod, Park is a stackable stool with interesting, sober and rigorous lines, just as the chair from which it evolved. It features a slender footrest and sled-like frame,which give it stability and a lightweight appearence.

Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, it is available in two heights, one for the home and the other for bar use.
