'Bambole' Lounge Chair in Green Leather by Mario Bellini for B&B Italia, 1972
The 'Bambole' lounge chair was designed in 1972 by Mario Bellini for B&B Italia as part of the Le Bambole series. Defined by the naturalness of its shape, its sculptural form appears to lack a traditional supporting structure, evoking a perfect balance of comfort and softness. This chair has been freshly reupholstered in luxurious, high-quality Veloso Leather in the color Pine. The iconic design was honored with the prestigious Compasso d’Oro award in 1979.
Fabric Details:
Hides are infused with a special wax blend and tumbled extensively to achieve the unique pattern. A low sheen finish adds to the look and provides an element of protection.
