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 timeless icon of Italian design, one of the most significant expressions of Italian design of the 1970s.

The Le Bambole sofa is a timeless icon, the apparent absence of a load-bearing structure giving the sofa a natural and harmonious appearance.
Its soft and elastic form is able to offer unparalleled comfort, wrapping the user’s body.

The sofa in question is a rare early production from the 1980s.

The internal padding is still in perfect condition.

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 shipping, the sofa will be packed and placed on a custom-made wooden crate for the sofa.

P.S. I do not ship to the United States due to logistics.
