B&B Italia Opens First US Maxalto Store in Chicago

This month, Chicago became the home of the first Maxalto store in the U.S. It opened on June 6th and is located in River North. Jump below for a few samples from the line:

Small Armchair by Antonio Citterio

ACLE Bed by Antonio Citterio

SMSCR Writing Desk by Antonio Citterio

SMT Sofa by Antonio Citterio

Walking the line between traditional and modern, the Maxalto collection is a bit more classically inspired than straight-up B&B Italia, but retains a contemporary edge and Italian style.

The new shop is located at 309 West Superior. More info: B&B Italia

Fantastic furniture but who can afford their stratospheric prices?

Can't wait to check it out! I need an end table to go with my B&B Charles sofa.

Does anyone know how much the sofa in the picture is? I see it on the site, but no price, which makes me not want to ask...

Oh, I mean the sofa at the top of the page, the grey one.

Maxalto is the "cheaper" line from B&B Italia. Not that it's cheap at all, mind you.

The cost of the sofa will be greatly impacted by the type of upholstery you decide on. I would guess that this particular sofa would be somewhere between $7-9K.

Do they list prices on their website? How much do they want for the ACLE bed. It's gorgeous but I suspect way out of my price range.
