The B&B Italia Metropolitan ’14 is the armchair you end up sitting in every night. Jeffrey Bernett designed it for B&B Italia and it was shown in Milan in 2014, a refinement of his original Metropolitan, one of the company’s best-known chairs.
The shape does the work. The shell opens out like a funnel, wide at the arms and narrow at the base, so there is no single correct way to sit in it: upright with a book, sideways with your legs over the arm, or curled up. The high back supports your head and shoulders, and the whole chair turns on its swivel base, so you can face the room, the window or the television without getting up.
Underneath the fabric is a tubular steel frame wrapped in B&B Italia’s cold-moulded polyurethane foam, the construction the company is known for. This one is the high-back version in a cream textured fabric, complete with its lumbar and headrest cushions. Made in Italy.
It sits on the custom black four-spoke base, an upgrade over the standard brushed finish, which gives the cream fabric a sharp, modern contrast.
Ordered new, this chair is a custom order with an 18 to 22 week wait. This one is in our Fairfield showroom now.

Pre-owned. The chair has been thoroughly cleaned and presents in good used condition, with minor signs of wear. See photos.
