Mario Bellini “Le Bambole” sofa for B&B Italia, dark brown suede, Italy, 1971.
This timeless Postmodern design icon came into being between 1970 and 1972. The search for a new shape for upholstered furniture led to shaping all the parts like a giant soft cushion. “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.
