Schultz is best known for his outdoor furniture designs. His graceful Petal Table, introduced in 1960, received the design award from Industrial Design magazine. The steel wire-formed 715 Chaise Lounge, which was introduced the following year to complement the Bertoia collection, was selected in 1963 by the Museum of Modern Art for its permanent collection of contemporary furniture. After Florence Knoll moved to a seaside home in Florida, she started sending the design team rusty pieces of furniture, asking them to develop something that could perform in the salty climate. Schultz responded with the aluminum Leisure Collection in 1966.
B&B Italia was founded in 1966 with the entrepreneurial vision of Piero Ambrogio Busnelli. The company distinguished itself from its inception for its innovative industrial approach to manufacturing. The B&B Italia furniture collection has its roots in its ability to reflect contemporary culture and the capacity to respond quickly to the ever changing lifestyles, habits and requirements. Modern furniture elements that are distinctive and characterised by exceptional quality and timeless elegance. The result of the unique union between creativity, innovation and industrial know-how.
