With B-kini chair, Paolo Rizzatto introduces the first cantilever chair in Alias collection, reinterpreting an icon of 1930s rationalist design that stands out for its cantilever seat and characteristic tubular steel structure. The design combines technical strict logic and aesthetic sensitivity, with a focus on innovative materials and visual lightness. The stylistic signature of Paolo Rizzatto is reflected in the search for a perfect balance between structure and upholstery, functionality and expressiveness, resulting in an essential and sophisticated seat.
Available in various finishes, B-kini is characterised by a continuous load-bearing structure made of round-section steel profile and a seat-backrest system created, respectively, with a felt band, closed in a loop by an elastic fabric insert, easily removable.
Alias' new cantilever chair makes use of the legendary Gilco tubes, high-performance lightweight tubes made of a special aeronautical steel whose alloying elements give it the best technical characteristics in terms of hardness, wear resistance, high-temperature properties and intrinsic ability to resist oxidation, thus guaranteeing the highest reliability and durability.
Suitable for residential and professional contexts, B-kini is a solid yet handy chair, where the contrast between the materials enhances the purity of the shapes with a design that combines constructive precision and visual lightness.
