B—Line is a company specialised in designer furnishings which, ever since its beginnings, has manufactured contemporary products along with evergreen icons from the past, such as Joe Colombo’s famous Boby storage trolley. Solid, transversal and flexible designs, the result of collaborations with international designers and of an exclusively Italian production.
B—Line is a company, brainchild of its founder, Giorgio Bordin, that restores life to several historical icons of design on the Italian scenario. These are works that have disappeared over the years, made obsolete by the unrelenting ferment of a market that is brimming with innovation. Of the products re-edited, some have made history “contaminating” many facets of art and design, such as Joe Colombo’s famous Boby.
From the very beginning, side by side with its re-editions, B—Line places contemporary furnishing accessories, resulting from collaborations with international designers. Tangible, factual and transversal projects that have the responsibility and honour to co-exist with the great cornerstones of design and to encourage, in terms of style and character, a smooth switch from home environments to working spaces and from outdoors to indoors, areas that are increasingly hybrid and mercurial, as demanded by contemporary lifestyles.
Karim Rashid

Karim Rashid’s mission is to change the world through design. With almost 3,000 objects designed for top line names in the field of furnishing, lighting and fashion, he is one of the most prolific designers of the latter years. A great communicator and trend setter, multi-award winner, author of a number of publications, his works also merge successfully in architectural fields, his phenomenal rise has reached untold heights.

Born in Cairo in 1960, Karim Rashid grew up in Canada where he studied Industrial Design. In the Eighties, having attained his diploma at the Carleton University in Ottawa, he lived in Italy for a period, specialising in Naples with Ettore Sottsass and in Milan at the Rodolfo Bonetto studio. On his return to Canada he collaborated with KAN Industrial Designers and established his first studio (Babel Inc. and North Studio). Nowadays he works between New York and Amsterdam, creating designs characterised by strongly recognisable aesthetics.
