Mario Bellini 'Le Bambole' Two-Seat Couch in Alcantara - 1970s

Creator: Mario Bellini
Offered by: Goldwood by Boris

Description
Postmodern sofa 'Le Bambole' by Mario Bellini, Italy, 1970s. The starting point was a shopping bag that contained formless material that was shaped when the bag was set on the ground and squashed. In the shared research undertaken by the designer and the company's internal R&D department, the Centro Ricerche & Sviluppo, the idea moved towards the shape of a cushion. This is how Le Bambole came into being between 1970 and 1972. The series turned out to be an icon for the 1970s and won the "Compasso d'Oro" award in 1979. The search for a new shape for upholstered furniture: all of the parts are shaped like a large soft cushion.
