This set is composed of one large module (90 x 90 cm / 35.4 x 35.4 in), one smaller module (60 x 90 cm / 23.6 x 35.4 in), both complete with backrests, and two armrests. The modular structure allows flexible configurations while maintaining the sculptural identity of the design.

Camaleonda is one of the most iconic Italian seating systems of the 20th century. Designed by Mario Bellini for B&B Italia, it introduced a revolutionary concept of modular upholstery based on a system of cables, hooks, and rings that allow the elements to be connected and reconfigured. The name itself combines the Italian words camaleonte (chameleon) and onda (wave), expressing its transformative and soft, undulating form.

The deep tufting and characteristic tensioning system create the distinctive quilted volumes, emphasizing both comfort and architectural presence. Unlike conventional modular sofas, Camaleonda is defined by its visible connection system, which becomes part of its aesthetic language.

This set has been fully restored in Italy by our workshop and reupholstered in a high-quality green linen velvet, made in Italy. Each element has been individually inspected and carefully serviced to ensure structural integrity, correct tensioning of the original hook system, and optimal comfort.
