Where it comes from.

Milan in the nineties, after the noise had passed

If Memphis was Italian design shouting, the 1990s were Italian design going quiet again — without returning to where it had been. The decade's Milanese work refined geometry rather than rejecting it, kept the discipline of rationalism, and shifted the emphasis onto proportion, material quality and the precision of a seam.

Antonio Citterio's work for B&B Italia and Maxalto is the clearest example: low horizontal masses, generous seat depth, leather used in large uninterrupted panels, and detailing that only reveals itself close up. The pieces are not minimal in any ascetic sense — they are substantial, often oversized — but nothing on them is decorative.

A three-seater in this idiom depends almost entirely on execution. There is no pattern, tufting or ornament to absorb a flaw, so hide selection, seam straightness and foam consistency are the whole design. It is an unforgiving typology to build, and an obvious one to get wrong.
