Mario Bellini is one of the most influential designers in the world, with an impressive career that spans from architecture to product design. He has won the Compasso d’Oro eight times, and many of his works are part of the permanent collection at MoMA in New York. Among the B&B Italia sofas, the Le Bambole collection stands out as one of his most significant creations, revolutionizing the balance between form and function.
Le Bambole are known for their seemingly invisible support structure and the comfort they provide, which is first perceived visually and then fully experienced when you sit down. Originally made with a metal frame embedded in polyurethane, today’s models incorporate cutting-edge materials like recycled polyethylene. This evolution makes the sofa not only a design masterpiece but also a sustainable product, as its components can be easily disassembled for recycling.
Le Bambole Sectional Sofa by B&B Italia
The Le Bambole collection includes:
- Bibambola sofa offers compact yet cozy dimensions, with a length of 169 cm and a depth of 91 cm. This makes it ideal for those seeking a sofa that balances comfort and style without taking up too much space. Its soft, enveloping silhouette makes it a versatile piece for various room sizes.
- Granbambola sofa is larger, with a length of 244 cm and a depth of 116 cm, offering an even more expansive and relaxing seating experience. It is perfect for those who love to stretch out and enjoy superior comfort in a stylish, design-forward setting.
- Bibambola x Stella McCartney sofa is the result of an exclusive collaboration with fashion icon Stella McCartney. These models are upholstered in the eco-friendly “Fungi Forest” fabric, a 100% biodegradable polyester that is toxin-free. This material is a perfect example of sustainable design, as it does not release harmful microplastics into the environment, reflecting a commitment to eco-friendly solutions in luxury furniture.
- Le Bambole armchair captures the same cosy, inviting spirit as the rest of the collection, with its soft, enveloping shapes designed for relaxation.
- Bamboletto bed is a unique piece that extends the collection's concept of comfort into the bedroom.
All these products are crafted from cold-molded flexible polyurethane foam with polyester fiber covers, ensuring maximum comfort and durability.
