Description
Mario Bellini “Le Bambole” armchairs for B&B Italia, original cognac leather, Italy, 1971, set of two.
The search for a new shape for upholstered furniture: all parts are shaped like a large soft cushion. If we take apart “Le Bambole”, we get cushions in part because they are a natural free shape, difficult to describe in a product drawing, but easy to perceive and analyze. Inside them is the skeleton, or the vertical edges or elastic membranes that blend form and fabric to balance action and reaction. “Le Bambole”, said Bellini, “are not covered in fabric. Instead, they are built of fabric.” What makes them unique is the apparent absence of a load-bearing structure, the extreme naturalness of their shape, and the combination of comfort, softness, and elasticity.
Slight signs of use and time.
