B&B Italia - Mario Bellini - Le Bambole - Sofa - Velvet

Timeless icon of Italian design from the seventies, Mario Bellini's Le Bambole sofa continues to represent one of the most sensual and welcoming masterpieces in the history of modern furniture. This two-seat version, fully reupholstered with a precious beige cotton velvet, gives new life to a timeless piece, enhancing its soft, enveloping curves that made it famous worldwide.
Designed in 1972 for B&B Italia, Le Bambole was born from Bellini's brilliant intuition to create a system of upholstery pieces that look like “habitable sculptures.” Its sinuous lines, free of sharp edges, evoke the human body: the back and seat cushions, generous and soft, naturally adapt to the posture of whoever sits on it, offering a unique and enveloping comfort. The internal structure has been revised and reinforced, while the feather-and-foam padding with differentiated density guarantees that typical “cloud” effect that makes every seat a pure relaxation experience. The new beige cotton velvet upholstery is the ideal choice for those seeking a contemporary and refined look. The fabric, of the highest quality, has an incredibly pleasant velvety feel, with a warm and natural glow that changes subtly depending on the light. The neutral beige color, elegant and versatile, integrates harmoniously into modern, minimalist, classic, or eclectic environments, imparting brightness and visual softness to the space.
The cotton weave ensures breathability and daily resilience, while the velvet adds that tactile touch of luxury that invites you to sit and not get up again. Every detail of this reupholstery has been crafted with artisanal mastery: precise stitching that follows the generous curves of the original model, invisible zippers for easy maintenance, and feet in brushed metal that provide stability and elegance.
The compact dimensions of the two-seater (about 160-170 cm wide) make it perfect for mid-sized living rooms as well as high-level contract projects. Le Bambole is not just a sofa: it is a manifesto of Italian comfort, an object that unites historical memory and modernity. Reupholstered in this beige cotton velvet, it becomes a unique piece, ready to become the absolute protagonist of your living room for the coming decades.
