ARMCHAIR
LE BAMBOLE
MARIO BELLINI
 

1972

Le Bambole is an armchair designed in 1972 by the Italian designer Mario Bellini. Considered an iconic example of 1970s Italian design, the armchair is characterized by its organic, soft shape and sculptural appearance. The design was innovative and provocative for its time as it stood out from the traditional shapes and lines of 1960s furniture. The special feature about Le Bambole is that it consists of just one piece of foam covered with fabric or leather. This results in a particularly soft and comfortable seat that adapts perfectly to the user's body . The name of the armchair - “Le Bambole” - means “The Dolls” in Italian, and refers to the round, playful shapes of the armchair, which are reminiscent of the silhouette of dolls.
