The renewal of this collection brings with it Sila, a new sablé fabric
available in eight colours. Its pleasingly irregular, three-dimensional
nature masks the orthogonal effect of warp and weft, amplifying
the effect of softness through a studied irregularity that seems
reminiscent of natural, spontaneous surfaces.
This sensation begins with sight and is completed by touch.
In fact, as Mario Bellini says: " The variation of this fabric, when
in contact with your hands, your arms, your body, empathises
with your skin and is extremely pleasant ".
Le Bambole can also be upholstered in high-quality Kasia leather,
an extremely soft and naturally marked full-grain leather. Here,
too, touch and sight are equally satisfied, giving each Bambola an
even more elegant and refined appearance.
Throughout their history, Le Bambole have seen slight adaptations
in shape, proving that they are always able to keep up with the times.
In addition to appearance, comfort is a key element of the design.
Once again, softness is guaranteed by a series of clever construction
measures despite the minimum amount of polyurethane used.
Where the original construction was based on a metal structure
embedded in polyurethane, now the materials used are of the
latest generation. Recycled polyethylene gives structure; elements
in polyurethane foam and thermoplastic elastomers are added
to shape the geometry and define comfort and breathability, all
sheathed by an undercover derived from recycled PET.
These design choices mean that every item in the new Le Bambole
collection is completely disassembled and therefore easily recyclable.
