LE BAMBOLE, A THREE-DIMENSIONAL BIG PILLOW

In 1972, architect Mario Bellini had a revolutionary idea: to create a seating collection that was comfortable and versatile, but also had a beautiful look. The design was crafted with a light metal structure, encased by a mold of polyurethane foam, and covered with fabric. Bellini described the Bambole sofa as a "three-dimensional big pillow," creating a harmonious sofa. This design was revolutionary for its time, and it quickly became a popular choice among homeowners looking for a comfortable and stylish piece for their living space. Bellini's vision has been a great success, and the Bambole sofa continues to be one of the most beloved seating collections of its kind.

The ‘Le Bambole’ Marketing Campaign

In the 1970s, Mario Bellini revolutionized the design world with his Bambole sofa collection, which earned him the prestigious Compasso d’Oro award. After extensive research on materials and design, he created a unique structure without any load-bearing structures. Instead of traditional frames and belts, four metal vertical inserts were connected by a metal base, with a multi-density polyurethane foam molded structure that provided key comfort features. The sofa was available in a variety of modular elements, allowing for multiple living solutions. Since its creation, the Bambole has received much acclaim, with its inclusion in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
