Le Bambole Armchair

Le Bambole is a classic Mario Bellini style from 1972. 50. To celebrate its birthday, this super sofa has been expanded with deeper proportions and new eco-materials to ensure it remains a cult icon forever.

The Bambole armchair is part of the Le Bambole series, first designed in 1972 and awarded the Compasso d’Oro in 1979. Le Bambole, a symbol of timeless contemporaneity and one of the most effective expressions of Made in Italy excellence, combining research and creative flair.

What makes them special is the apparent absence of a load-bearing structure, the extreme naturalness of the shape and the combination of comfort, softness and elasticity that their appearance conveys. Where the original structure was based on a metal structure embedded in polyurethane, the materials used now are the latest generation of materials, starting with recycled polyethylene. Le Bambole is a sustainable project thanks to its choice of materials and construction method, which allows its components to be completely disassembled and therefore easily recycled.

B&B Italia presents the renewed version of “Le Bambole”, an incredibly successful collection designed in the 1970s that won the “Compasso d’Oro” Award in 1979.

The extremely natural look of the overall shape and the message of comfort, softness and flexibility that its appearance conveys so effectively are features that leave a lasting impression.
