B&B Italia Bay lounge chair with high backrest 123 cm

B&B Italia Bay garden chair / lounge chair with high backrest

Bay is a collection of woven furniture for the outdoor area, characterised by a sculptural, monolithic presence. Its enclosing forms are combined with upholstered seats reminiscent of rock formations, while the soft cushions provide the same elegance, comfort and refinement as indoor furniture. The double weave pattern with its airy interstices gives the collection transparency and lightness.

PLEASE NOTE: if the products are placed outdoors and left unused for a longer period, we recommend packing them into a waterproof protective cover for protection.

Fabrics without treatment (AGATE - EFESO - ELIDE - LESIA - LINDOS - LIPARI - SAMOS)
These fabrics underline the comfort of the products, as they are comparable to indoor covers in softness and breathability, even though the fibres used are stabilised polypropylene (PP - Agate, Efeso, Elide, Lesia, Lipari, Samos) or polyester (PL - Lindos) for outdoor use. Furniture covered in these fabrics needs more careful maintenance, because it absorbs water even though the waterproof inner cover does form a certain barrier. Under extreme conditions (heavy and prolonged rain) there is nevertheless a risk of water penetrating the cushions.

Fabrics with a water-repellent treatment (ECATE - ELCE - EOS - LEILA - LOREO - SILEA)
The water-repellent treatment is a permanent treatment and can only be used on polyester fabrics (PL - Elce, Loreo, Silea) or on acrylic fabrics (PC - Ecate, Eos, Leila). Its greatest advantage is that the fabric fibres become completely impermeable without the appearance, handle, effect or breathability of the fabric being impaired in any way. Because the fabric is water-repellent it does not become damp, but that does not mean the fabric is impermeable, as its reverse is not given the waterproof treatment. The acrylic fabrics (PC - Ecate, Eos, Leila) emphasise a softness comparable to indoor covers.

Fabrics with a water-resistant treatment (ELEO - ELETTO - EPEO - ERIA - EVO)
These fabrics are also of stabilised polypropylene for outdoor use. The difference from the untreated fabrics is that their reverse is given a waterproof treatment: a polyurethane film is applied to the back of the fabric, which prevents water from passing through. The visible side becomes damp, while the inner side is protected against the ingress of liquids. Please note that the waterproof fabrics are not 100% impermeable; if the fabrics are frequently and lengthily exposed to water (for example in heavy rainfall), protective covers should be used to protect the product and to prevent water penetrating the seams and wetting the upholstery. The polyurethane film remains durable even after numerous wash cycles and can therefore be described as a permanent finish.

Waterproof fabrics (ALCEO)
The fabric Alceo is a waterproof fabric from the nautical sector with high resistance to weathering, germs, abrasion and stains, which makes it suitable for the contract sector as well. It is a waterproof fabric that prevents water from penetrating. The textile was developed specifically for outdoor use without particular maintenance effort: a damp sponge is enough to remove stains, and dry dirt can simply be removed with a brush. Alceo is able to keep its original appearance with minimal care and prevents water from penetrating the cushions.
