Nbaynadamas FIND: AN ULTRA MODERN TAKE ON CANED FURNITURE!

B&B Italia - Canasta Round Armchair - $9,138 (above and below)

Okay...was at a design walk a few weeks back and ran into this outdoor furniture line at B&B Italia on the corner of Robertson and Beverly Blvd. in Los Angeles. Was in love with the use of woven Vienna straw to make entirely caned outdoor furniture - chairs, armchairs, sofas, tables and lounge chairs. The woven oversized caned design was flawlessly conceptualized by Spanish born designer Patricia Urquiola in 2007.

Here is the maudlin part of the story. I took photos of this furniture on my Blackberry when I was at the design walk. Meant to post them as a Nbaynadamas FIND...but did not. Then, some two weeks later, I was watching the Bachelorette...yes, I was watching the Bachelorette and I saw "the Bachelorette" smooching some guy on this fantastic outdoor furniture. I was decor "scooped", as they say in the news business, by the set decorator of reality dating show???!!!! Oy...

Anyhoo...after seeing MY furniture on broadcast television, I immediately called B&B Italia the next day and Kyra, a design consultant, was kind enough to send me these photos. So now I'm taking back the "scoop"!




B&B Italia - Canasta Round Sofa - $11,879
