AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Splendid brandy-colored leather sofa
Two-seat sofa model ‘Le Bambole’ designed by Mario Bellini in 1972 and awarded the Compasso d’Oro in 1979
A historic, timeless icon of Italian design, among the most significant expressions of Italian design in the 1970s.
The Le Bambole sofa is a timeless icon, with an apparent absence of a supporting frame, which gives the sofa a natural and harmonious appearance.
Its soft and elastic form is capable of offering unparalleled comfort, enveloping the user’s body.
The sofa in question is a rare early production from the 1980s.
The internal padding is still perfect.
Stamped on the base in yuta
Bibliography: G. Gramigna, Repertorio del Design Italiano 1950-2000, Allemandi, Torino, 2003, p. 198
Domus 515 (October 1972)
Domus 516 (November 1972)
Casa Amica 7 (November 1972) p. 42

In case of shipment, the sofa will be packed and placed on a wooden crate made to measure for the sofa.

P.S. I do not ship to the United States for logistical reasons.
