ABOUT B-line

Emotion and function. The moulds had been scrapped: all that remained were the drawings or, at the most, some reject pieces. But since these were products like Joe Colombo's Multichair or Rodolfo Bonetto's 4/4, we couldn't accept their loss. And so, B-LINE's beginnings were dictated more by a gut feeling than a rational calculation: we wanted to restore splendour to objects that, because they were ingeniously simple and aesthetically interesting, were intrinsically precious.
