B&B Italia revisits the past with the new Softcage outdoor collection, which is inspired by a 1975 project by Mario Bellini, whose avant-garde vision opened new horizons in the use of rattan as a valuable material for furnishings, combining bold shapes and a timeless elegance. Today this iconic concept is reinterpreted through B&B Italia's lens of innovation to give life to a collection that preserves the magic of hand-crafted rattan and blends it with contemporary aesthetics. This new interpretation offers an unparalleled experience of comfort and style for outdoor spaces thanks to a highly sophisticated cage structure composed of 45 mm sections and 18 mm rods. The load-bearing structure boasts gentler and more ergonomic shapes thanks to the base under the seat and the backrest, both inclined and suspended. The new collection consists of a sofa in two sizes and an armchair, all with a rattan structure offered in different colours. The range of colours and fabrics allows you to personalize outdoor spaces with a touch of elegance and functionality.

Mario Bellini studied architecture at the Milan Polytechnic and taught at the Instituto Superiore di Disegno Industriale in Venice from 1962-65. Until 1991 he worked as a design consultant for Olivetti while simultaneously designing independent products and furnishings. He established the architectural and design firm Studio Bellini in Milan in 1973. In 1987 the New York Museum of Modern Art honoured him with a retrospective exhibition of his works. He was an instructor at the Domus Academy in Milan from 1983-85, and editor in chief of Domus magazine between 1986-91. He assumed a position on the architectural faculty at the University of Genoa in 1995, and he teaches seminars and workshops at universities and academic institutions around the world.
