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.
A totally hand-crafted weave for B—Line’s Toro
24 September 2024

The Toro chair designed by Michael Geldmacher for B—Line is proposed in options of wood, fabric or metal for its seat.

The chair’s manufacturing process includes the creation of a cut, shaped and welded tubular steel frame. More than three quarters of the steel employed in its production is recycled.

In its most refined and innovative version instead, Toro features a precious polyester cord handwoven seat matched with the backrest.

Besides specific crafting technique expertise and the utmost precision and attention paid to detail, the weaving of the two Toro chair’s cord elements demands a patient workmanship that can even take as much as an hour.

The Toro chair, with its weave in a choice of six colours and a painted galvanised steel frame, can also be safely placed outdoors to create strongly personalised exterior environments.

From an environmental awareness perspective, Toro can be dismantled to facilitate the responsible disposal of any of each parts.
