Walnut Creek, CA, June 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lumens, the premier online design destination for consumers and trade professionals, is delighted to announce the onboarding of preeminent Italian luxury design brand B&B Italia.
Lumens is the leading purveyor of luxury lighting, furniture and home furnishings in North America, defining the design industry across most home categories. With the addition of B&B Italia, Lumens complements its portfolio of fine home brands from across the globe with an anchor point in Italian design.
As the first e-commerce partner in B&B Italia’s history, Lumens is positioned to lead the brand into new segments by expanding its reach in the North American market. Design customers and A+D professionals can expect the same top-quality craftsmanship and design that define B&B Italia, bolstered by the best-in-class service Lumens is known for.
“B&B Italia is unparalleled in the design space for excellence in quality, craftsmanship and cultural significance,” said Kecia Hielscher, SVP Merchandising. “We are thrilled to bring this quintessential luxury brand to the discerning customers who trust Lumens to source the best in design from around the world.”
Since the mid-20th century, B&B Italia has been on the leading edge of research and development in design manufacturing. Materials and packaging are largely sourced from Italian suppliers, while innovations in production techniques and the brand’s tireless commitment to quality support sustainability initiatives. Excellence in ethical practices and environmental stewardship serves as a polestar for the brand, which is committed to a circular model wherein new designs are easily disassembled for recycling. Designs are independently tested and certified compliant by international laboratories to meet rigorous legal and quality standards.
Notable products by B&B Italia at Lumens include designs from the Serie UP and Le Bambole collections, as well as 1970’s Camaleonda by Mario Bellini. This award-winning design has attracted numerous imitators over the years, and the genuine article was reissued in 2020 with the original design elements that made the mid-century design famous. Internally, the design received a modern makeover to be more comfortable as well as recyclable.
