Architect Mario Bellini won 8 Compasso D’Oro awards and claims about 25 of his designs in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art of New York City. He collaborated with the most influential Italian furniture companies, and was editor of Domus, a prominent design magazine from 1985 to 1991. He then dedicated his activity to Architecture creating projects like the Islamic Art Center at the Louvre, the Tokyo Design Center in Japan, the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne and many other domestic and International projects. Some of his most successful furniture designs were in collaboration with Cassina and B&B Italia. An important part of the success of the Bambole collection was it’s marketing campaign. Piero Busnelli, founder of B&B Italia hired photographer Oliviero Toscani to create the campaign and the result was provocative and to the point. Model Donna Jordan, muse of Andy Warhol is photographed topless and in a series of trasgressive poses which at a point were censured and deemed too provocative for the audience. This contributes to the buzz and the success of this amazing product which is still in production today although with modifications from the original design.
