Oh, it rains!
Informazioni su questo prodotto
Architonic ID: 20116700
Anno di Lancio: 2020
Concetto
The first B&B Italia and Philippe Starck partnership created the Oh, it rains! collection which offers a sofa and an extremely elegantly designed outdoor armchair. The visionnary collection fits functionally and perfectly into any public or private environment.
Oh, it rains! impresses at first glance because of its generous backrest, which provides an intimate and protective space naturally. It has elegant lines and many comfortable optional cushions, and a large backrest with impeccable ergonomics. Form and function combine in a quick and effective movement, which allows the backrest to be reclined during bad weather. It is perfectly suited to any environment, Oh, it rains! combines timeless elegance, maximum comfort and innovative design.
After years of work, the B&B Italia Research and Development Centre and the creator Philippe Starck have developed an original mechanical joint which allows the backrest to be reclined. The Oh, it rains! Collection’s aluminium mechanism is visible as an evocative element of interaction between form and function. This gives the sofa and armchair the necessary support and stability on any ground or weather condition.
“ Oh, it rains! is an innovation. It is not about style, not about trend. It is only about the rain.
It is high technology with high quality, high intelligence and comfort. It is very B&B.”- Philippe Starck
The materials used are available in a palette of warm and natural tones ranging from beige to brown, while the raffia-inspired fabrics are water-repellent, making the furniture completely waterproof.
All elements, including the backrest, are customisable. The seat structure can be integrated with a side table in Mediterranean stone.
Oh, it rains! can be completely disassembled and, at the end of its life cycle, the materials of each element can be separated, to dispose of them in the most appropriate way according to their type.

"I like to open the doors to people's brain." - Philippe Starck Whenever we discover an object or a place designed by Philippe Starck, we enter a world of walltowall imagination, surprises and fabulous fantasy. For more than three decades, this unique and multifarious creator, designer and architect has been a part of our daily lives by creating unconventional objects, whose purpose is to be "good" before being beautiful; iconic destinations, that take the members of his "cultural tribe" out of themselves and, most importantly, towards something better. His father, an inventor and aeronautic engineer, gave the young Philippe Starck the desire to create and the capacity to dream. Several years and several prototypes later, he was commissioned to work for President François Mitterrand. This was also when he began designing furniture for leading Italian and international firms. Philippe Starck designs his hotels and restaurants in the same way a director makes a film. He develops scenarios that will lift people out of the everyday and into an imaginative and creative mental world. His hotels have become timeless icons and have added a new dimension to global cityscape. Through Philippe Starck’s concept of "democratic design" – increase the quality objects at lower prices so that more people can enjoy the best – he was a lone voice at a time when design was turned exclusively towards an elite. There are few areas of design he hasn't explored: from furniture to mail-order homes, motorbikes to mega-yachts, and even artistic direction for space-travel projects, to name but a few. Philippe Starck believed in the green long before ecology became fashionable, out of respect for the planet's future. Early on, he created the Good Goods catalogue of non-products for nonconsumers in tomorrow's moral market, and set up his own organic food company. More recently he developed the revolutionary concept of "democratic ecology" by creating affordable wind turbines for the home, soon to be followed by solar-powered boats and hydrogen cars. Philippe Starck is a tireless and rebellious citizen of the world who considers it his duty to share his ethical and subversive vision of a fairer world. He stays tuned in to our dreams, desires and needs - sometimes before we get there ourselves - by making his work a political and civic act which he accomplishes with love, poetry and humour.
