Le Bambole by B&B Italia
Price
The Le Bambole Lounge Chair and Footrest, created by Mario Bellini for B&B Italia in 1972, is a well-known piece in modern furniture design. This chair stands out for its unique materials and inviting look. Its soft, rounded shape and leather upholstery make it comfortable and casual. The smooth edges emphasize its cozy and welcoming feel. Designed for relaxation, this chair fits well in many spaces, like living rooms and lounges. The footrest adds extra comfort, allowing you to kick back and unwind. When it came out in the early 1970s, Le Bambole marked a change towards more laid-back and casual seating in modern design, moving away from stiff and formal styles to focus on comfort and ease. This particular lounge chair and footrest are available together, both in excellent vintage condition with very minor signs of use.
Mario Bellini (born February 1, 1935) is an Italian architect and designer. After graduating from the Polytechnic University of Milan in 1959, Bellini pursued a career as an architect, exhibition designer, product designer, and furniture designer during the Italian economic boom of the late 20th century. Bellini has received several accolades in a variety of design fields, including eight Compasso d'Oro awards and the Gold Medal for Lifetime Achievement by the Triennale di Milano. In 2019, the Italian President of the Chamber of Deputies, Roberto Fico, awarded Bellini a career medal in recognition of his contributions to Italian architecture and design.
