LIAGÒ Wooden sideboard with doors

Piero Lissoni designed Liagò for B&B Italia, a new range of storage units ideal for dining and living areas.‎ The collection consists of two low storage units with doors and drawers and one high storage unit with hinged and flap doors.‎ Liagò is in the Venetian architectural tradition - an outdoor loggia made of wood, often featuring a marble floor.‎ It is a place suspended in space and time, a precious and rare area that allows lagoon houses to breathe and let the sun in.‎ Piero Lissoni starts from this classic and reinterprets it, maintaining its frame and materials, but with a new use and updated role.‎ The clean lines and impressive thickness define this architecture-inspired collection.‎ Just like a building, the 50mm-thick frame hides a functional soul.‎ Side and back panels are assembled to create a compartment inside them, allowing the passage of electrical cables and other elements.‎ This means Liagò storage units can accommodate power supply and connections for televisions, monitors, lamps, speakers, amplifiers, weather stations, home voice assistants and other wired devices.‎ This is made possible by “folding”, i.‎e.‎ the wooden panel cut, which replicates a fold, a construction technique that makes it possible to make the joints between the top and edge invisible, continuing the wood grain throughout the unit and avoiding unsightly interruptions.‎ The collection’s furniture can be placed directly on the floor or on elegant adjustable steel feet.‎ They are made of light canaletto walnut with raw or grey effect.‎ The range includes lacquered finishes in 18 gloss and satin colours, which can radically transform each piece’s style.‎ The upper tops can be in wood, lacquered, Carrara white marble, and Sahara Noir black marble.‎ The interiors are covered with a refined silky, anti-scratch, anti-fingerprint, grey, melamine material.‎ The internal shelves are made of smoked grey glass.‎ Drawers have an incredibly thin frame.‎ B&B Italia offers a preview of this i
