Over the past few years, we've been on a quest to discover original treasures. Before B&B Italia introduced their much-anticipated re-edition of the legendary Camaleonda sofa we had already sourced a number of authentic pieces that were ready for reupholstery. With the help of our skilled Italian upholsterers, we embarked on the task of giving these pieces a luxurious makeover, adorning them with exquisite new fabrics. Despite re-editions, the preference for acquiring authentic and unique vintage designs remains unwavering.
Allow us to introduce our latest addition to the collection: a remarkable set comprising five modular Camaleonda sofa elements. Among them, three generously sized 90 x 90 cm pieces and two slightly smaller 60 x 90 cm pieces, all skillfully crafted without arms. The beauty of these elements lies in their versatility; they can be effortlessly rearranged to create the perfect configuration for your space or used separately as single seating elements. Through the use of independent Camaleonda elements, one can create a seating arrangement that suits individual unique tastes and styles. Let your creativity flow as you arrange and rearrange these modular wonders, molding your living space into a sanctuary of comfort and aesthetic bliss.
Stay tuned as we share more about our journey of curating exceptional pieces and uncovering the artistry behind each one. Join us as we embark on a fascinating exploration of timeless design, where authenticity and innovation intertwine to elevate the soul of your home.
This iconic Camaleonda, born from the creative mind of architect Mario Bellini, has become a favorite among interior designers worldwide. Originally crafted for B&B Italia in 1970, this gem ceased production in 1979, making it a highly sought-after treasure. Mario Bellini, the visionary behind the Camaleonda sofa, is no stranger to recognition. With an impressive collection of 8 Compasso D'Oro awards, his design brilliance has garnered well-deserved acclaim. Notably, his creations have found a permanent home in the esteemed Museum of Modern Art in New York City, where approximately 25 of his designs are proudly displayed. Throughout his remarkable career, Bellini collaborated with Italy's most prominent furniture companies, leaving an indelible mark on the industry. He also served as the editor of Domus, a renowned design magazine, from 1985 to 1991. But Bellini's passion extended beyond furniture and publications; he ventured into the world of architecture, creating exceptional projects that continue to captivate. Among his architectural projects are the Islamic Art Center at the Louvre, the Tokyo Design Center in Japan, and the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, along with various domestic and international ventures. Bellini's ability to seamlessly blend artistry, functionality, and innovation has made a lasting impact on the world of design.
While Bellini's portfolio boasts numerous successful furniture collaborations, two creations stand out. The 'Cab' chair, a collaboration with Cassina, continues to charm discerning individuals with its enduring appeal. Additionally, the 'Le Bambole' seating collection, born in the 1980s, enchants with its distinctive charm. And of course, the pièce de résistance remains the iconic 'Camaleonda' sofa, which perfectly encapsulates Bellini's unmatched vision and design expertise.
Imagine sinking into these inviting seating elements of the Camaleonda sofa—an exquisite blend of relaxation and elegance. Its modular design and spacious seats create the perfect gathering spot for cherished moments with family and friends. With its aesthetic appeal, this sofa effortlessly fits into modern design projects, while vintage pieces hold a special allure for those who appreciate beautiful and historically significant designs.
