Set of 3 Le Bambole Armchairs by Mario Bellini (1970s)

The Bambola armchair is part of the renowned Le Bambole collection, originally designed in 1972 by Mario Bellini and awarded the Compasso d’Oro in 1979. This iconic seat stands out as one of the most significant expressions of Made in Italy design, combining research, imagination, and functionality. What makes the Bambola unique is its apparent lack of a supporting frame and the natural shape, which instantly conveys comfort, softness, and flexibility. Originally built on a metal frame embedded in polyurethane, the current version uses state-of-the-art materials, including second-life polyethylene for the structure, ensuring sustainability and allowing for easy disassembly and recycling of components. Upholstered in denim fabric, the armchair combines iron, jute, and polyurethane to offer a comfortable and elegant seating experience. The Bambola armchair measures 83 cm wide, 77 cm deep, and 70 cm high, with a seat height of 37 cm. This vintage piece is in excellent condition, with slight signs of use that confirm its authenticity and vintage charm. It is a perfect choice for collectors and enthusiasts of Italian design, blending aesthetics, innovation, and sustainability in a timeless object.
