Originally introduced in 1972 and awarded the prestigious Compasso d'Oro, the Bambole series transformed upholstered furniture through its fully integrated, frame-less construction and sculptural, inviting form. The design remains one of Bellini's most iconic works and is represented in major museum collections worldwide.

This pair represents a later B&B Italia production dating to the late 1990s or early 2000s, retaining the original design intent while benefiting from updated internal structure and materials. Upholstered in their original signature red B&B Italia textile, the chairs feature generous proportions, soft curves, and an enveloping silhouette that is both exceptionally comfortable and visually striking.

The forms remain exceptionally well-preserved, maintaining the signature volume and architectural presence that defines the Bambole collection. B&B Italia tags are present.

Highly collectible and versatile, these chairs function equally well as everyday lounge seating and sculptural statement pieces, complementing both contemporary and traditional interiors. See less
