“Le Bambole” Sofa by Mario Bellini for B&B Italia, Velvet Upholstery, Italy, 1970s

Iconic “Le Bambole” sofa designed by Mario Bellini for B&B Italia in the 1970s. One of the most celebrated Italian seating designs of the postmodern era, Le Bambole became internationally recognized for its revolutionary soft form and exceptional comfort. The design won the prestigious Compasso d’Oro award and remains one of Bellini’s most important creations. This particular piece has been upholstered in a beautiful high-quality light blue velvet fabric, giving the sofa a soft and elegant appearance while emphasizing its sculptural silhouette. The generous proportions, low seating position, and oversized organic curves create an incredibly comfortable lounging experience. Mario Bellini’s approach to Le Bambole was groundbreaking at the time: removing the visible rigid structure and creating a sofa that feels almost like a giant cushion. The result is both playful and sophisticated — a true statement piece for contemporary, minimalist, or eclectic interiors. In very good vintage condition with minor signs of age and use consistent with time. Dimensions: Height: 75 height Width: 230 cm Depth: 95 cm Seat height: 45 cm
