B&B Italia presents Le Bambole by Mario Bellini, in a radically
renewed version. Fifty years after their initial creation, these icons
of Italian style are evolving thanks to new design choices that
make them even more comfortable and increasingly sustainable.
A constant presence in the B&B Italia catalogue for 50 years,
Le Bambole evolves and becomes even more contemporary.
The revamped version recaptures a look and feel more akin to the
original, favouring generous, curvy, increasingly feminine shapes.
As Mario Bellini states: "I am delighted to revisit this family
again, because it confirms to me that it is anything but old; on
the contrary, it is enjoying a thriving and promising second life,
a rebirth done in a big way, with enthusiasm, with breadth, with
decorations and with the original flourishes. We have recovered
its charm, sumptuous form and softness".
The new range sees confirmations and new elements, for a
collection that restarts from the basic elements: the Bambola
armchair, the Bibambola two-seater sofa, the Bamboletto double bed.
In addition, the three-seater sofa has been updated to meet today's
needs, with a deeper seat that has earned it the name Granbambola.
