B&B Italia
Do-Maru Armchair
The small armchair Do-Maru is named after the ancient armour worn by samurai warriors, made up of painted and decorated thick leather plates that covered and protected the hero's body. Like the swivel armchair Almora, designed by Doshi-Levien in 2014, once again the shell of the seat is made up of a couple of superimposed bodies, softened by paddings that can be upholstered with either fabric or leather. The cast aluminium back support boldly underlines the conical profile of the small armchair, while the anterior support is in tubular metal with black chromed or pewter painted finishes, studied to match the colours of the body: white, black and tortora.

Nipa Doshi & Jonathan Levien
Nipa Doshi & Jonathan Levien met at the Royal College of Art and founded their London studio in 2000. Doshi grew up in India and studied at the National Institute of Design, while Levien, from Scotland, trained in fine cabinet making before industrial design. Celebrating the hybrid of cultures, craft and industry, they have designed for Moroso, Kvadrat, Cappellini, Hay and Nanimarquina, and received the Future Legends of Design award in 2008.
For B&B Italia they designed the revolving Almora armchair in 2014, named after a Himalayan region of India, and in 2016 the Do-Maru armchair, inspired by samurai armour.
