'I feel the pleasure of revisiting this family again, because it confirms to me that it is anything but aged. On the contrary, it is enjoying a thriving and promising second life, a rebirth done in a big way… We have recovered its charm, sumptuous fluidity and softness.’ – Mario Bellini
Part of the B&B Italia collection for half a century, in 2022 Le Bambole was revisited by designer Mario Bellini who has built on the collection with a look and feel akin to the original. With a generous, curvy shape, the new additions build on the original components and now include the Bambole armchair, the Bibambola two-seater sofa, the Bamboletto double bed and a three-seater sofa with a deeper seat called the Granbambola. In refining the feel of the collection, comfort was paramount and the original metal frame has been developed using a new generation of circular materials that like the 2020 edition of the Camaleonda, has been designed so that each element can be separated and recycled.
