B&B Italia Bay lounge chair with low back 118 cm

B&B Italia Bay garden chair / lounge chair with low back

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

PLEASE NOTE: if the products are placed outdoors and are not used for longer periods, we recommend packing them in a waterproof protective cover to protect them.

Fabrics without treatment (AGATE - EFESO - ELIDE - LESIA - LINDOS - LIPARI - SAMOS)
These fabrics underline the comfort of the products, as they match 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, as the fabrics absorb water even though the waterproof inner cover does form a certain barrier. Under extreme conditions (heavy, prolonged rain) there is a risk of water penetrating the cushions.

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

Fabrics with water-resistant treatment (ELEO - ELETTO - EPEO - ERIA - EVO)
These fabrics are also stabilised polypropylene for outdoor use. The difference from the untreated fabrics is that they are given a waterproof treatment on the reverse: a polyurethane film is applied to the back of the fabric, preventing water from passing through. The visible side becomes damp, while the inside is protected against liquids penetrating. 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), covers should be used to protect the product and to prevent water from entering through the seams and wetting the upholstery. The polyurethane film remains stable even after numerous wash cycles and can therefore be described as a permanent finish.

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