'Bambole' Lounge Chair in Blue Upholstery 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 retains its original blue upholstery. The iconic design was honored with the prestigious Compasso d’Oro award in 1979.
