Le Bambole — Bamboletto Bed

The Bambo­letto Bed is a part of B&B Italia’s revi­tal­iza­tion of Mario Belli­nis’ Le Bambole series. Orig­i­nally designed in 1972, Le Bambole won numer­ous awards, includ­ing the pres­ti­gious Compasso d’Oro in 1979. If you have ever taken one of your bed pillows and ​“plumped” it, hit it in the center, and watched the corners expand, you’ve just re-created Bellini’s inspi­ra­tion for his Le Bambole seating design. The action of ​“plump­ing” and the result­ing full­ness visu­ally connotes a profound ​“bedtime” comfort and soft­ness – precisely the feeling Bellini wanted to impart to all Le Bambole pieces.
