FIT-B is a lightweight seating solution developed for educational and multi-purpose environments, where functionality, durability, and ease of use are essential requirements. The design is defined by a monoblock polypropylene shell, characterized by a fluid and continuous profile that integrates seat and backrest into a single, compact volume. The perforated backrest introduces both a visual identity and a practical function, improving breathability while reducing the overall weight of the chair. Its ergonomic geometry is designed to support everyday use, with a gently curved back and a slightly flexible structure that enhances comfort during prolonged seating. The open-back detail creates a recognizable graphic element while also facilitating handling and movement. The tubular metal frame ensures structural stability and resistance to intensive use, while maintaining a clean and minimal aesthetic language. Conceived for spaces such as classrooms, training rooms, libraries, and collaborative areas, FIT-B combines technical efficiency with a contemporary and approachable design vocabulary.

GALTY is an outdoor chair designed by CB Design Lab for Forman, defined by a dynamic silhouette and a clear structural profile. The seat and backrest are shaped as a single continuous element, gently inclined to support a relaxed posture. Armrests and legs are integrated into the body of the chair, giving the design a compact and stable presence. The openings in the backrest and seat introduce a rhythmic graphic detail while supporting outdoor use. Lightweight and stackable, GALTY is conceived as a practical seating solution with a clear and recognizable identity.
SAVONA is a sofa that combines compact proportions with a soft, reassuring presence. Designed by CB Design Lab for Artis, it is characterized by rounded armrests and generous seat volumes that create a balanced and welcoming composition. The integrated recliner mechanism allows the seating depth to extend, transforming the posture from formal to fully relaxed while maintaining the sofa’s clean and continuous geometry. The backrest is divided into large, gently curved cushions that support the body naturally and emphasize the horizontal development of the piece.
SAVON is a modular seating system designed by CB Design Lab for KUKA Home Italia, defined by a composition of distinct yet coordinated volumes. The system is based on elementary modules—rectangular, square and semicircular—that can be combined into both linear and articulated configurations. Curved terminal elements and connecting pieces introduce directional variation, allowing the layout to expand while maintaining formal continuity. Soft radii and continuous edges reduce visual rigidity and support a fluid spatial arrangement. Each module is conceived as an independent padded volume, with visible junctions that express the modular logic. Backrests and armrests are designed as movable cushions rather than fixed elements, enabling flexible positioning and multiple seating scenarios. The slightly recessed base enhances the perception of lightness, while the continuous upholstery ensures visual consistency across configurations. SAVON balances geometric clarity with formal softness, offering a modular system adaptable to different spatial needs.
The FAN chair features a minimalist yet distinctive design, with a seat and backrest shaped to ensure optimal ergonomic support and a strong visual identity. The textured plastic shell enhances both durability and grip, while the backrest opening—with its softly curved, folded edges—serves as a practical handhold for bags as well as a handle for easy movement. Designed by CB Design Lab for Jooboo, FAN is conceived for educational environments and offers a range of base options to ensure versatility and adaptability. Lightweight, practical and recognizable, it is a stackable chair suited to a variety of school and workspace settings.
The Paloma sofa, designed by CB Design Lab for KUKA Home Italia, is defined by soft geometric forms and a balanced, contemporary presence. Its open base enhances the sense of lightness, while the integrated reclining mechanism ensures a high level of comfort. The generous armrests—shaped from a cushion folded over itself—contribute to a welcoming, enveloping silhouette. Contrasting material inserts on the outer sides introduce a refined detail, adding depth and subtle elegance to the composition. With its soft, modern character, Paloma expresses a clear balance between comfort and style.
AGOSTO, designed by CB Design Lab for Artis, is a modular seating system defined by a continuous, enveloping geometry and a balanced relationship between comfort and clarity of form. It develops through gently curved elements, enabling configurations from compact compositions to more extended layouts. Generous volumes are softened by rounded profiles and a low, horizontal proportion, giving the sofa a calm architectural presence. The backrest and armrests merge into a seamless padded surface, reinforcing a unified body and a relaxed seating posture. Fully upholstered, AGOSTO emphasizes tactile quality and precision in detailing.
The Cinema version introduces an added layer of comfort, where sculptural softness meets enhanced relaxation. Defined by inviting shapes and a fresh, contemporary aesthetic, it creates a more immersive and refined living environment, expanding the system’s versatility.
NALINI, designed by CB Design Lab for Artis, is a seating system characterised by large, soft volumes that conceal an integrated reclining mechanism. Available in both sofa and armchair versions, the design is based on a rhythmic modularity of the upholstery: the division into oversized cushions serves to emphasise the depth of the seat, while accommodating the adjustable footrest and headrest. By incorporating complex mechanical components within its soft forms, NALINI achieves a formal sobriety that balances ergonomic functionality with an inviting and welcoming silhouette.
FOLIA, designed by CB Design Lab for Forman, is a stackable plastic chair characterised by sinuous, fluid lines. The project is defined by a continuous formal sign that integrates the shell and supporting structure, achieving a synthesis between structural necessity and ergonomic comfort. The backrest section—defined by a wide-radius curvature—evolves laterally without interruption to generate the armrests, resolving the transition between components into a single, coherent volume. The geometry has been optimized to provide natural postural support, maintaining a formal purity suitable for both high-traffic contract environments and residential spaces.
AGO, designed by CB Design Lab for FORMAN, is a lightweight chair defined by a clear and essential geometry. Its structure is made of powder-coated metal tubing, forming a continuous line that integrates legs, armrests, and backrest supports into a single, cohesive frame. The seat and backrest feature gently curved surfaces that provide ergonomic support while maintaining a clean, minimal profile. AGO is fully stackable, allowing efficient storage and adaptability across different environments.
