Milan Furniture Fair - centro

At B & B Italia. Jean-Marie Masaud is being interviewed whilst sitting on his Terminal 1 daybed for B & B Italia. The French designer, who was the recipient of the Cre-ateur de l’Annee prize in Paris last year, told Metropolis.com “As far as I’m concerned, the role of a designer is not to design objects, but to propose life-enhancing strategies.”

B & B Italia - Terminal 1, designed by Jean-Marie Massaud. The shape of this daybed invites and supports a double function as an armchair and a chaise longue. It is elegant, fluid and harmonic, starting from a glossy plastic body, floating on a metallic frame with the same color finishing.
