Description

Mario Bellini, Italy 1970s, camaleonda sofa, reupholstered in bouclé wool. Postmodern sectional sofa by Mario Bellini for C&B Italia. The entire sofa consists of 3 big seating elements, 3 backrests and 2 armrests. The couch has been reupholstered in an ivory bouclé wool fabric. As we have a substantial stock of camaleonda pieces we can assemble your dream sofa and upholster in a fabric of choice. This design became famous almost immediately after it was featured in the exhibition 'Italy and The New Domestic Landscape' in the MoMA Museum in 1972. Mario Bellini (1935-) is trained as an architect and became one of the leading designers in postwar Italian style. In the beginning of his career, he worked together with Olivetti, Cassina and B&B Italia which resulted in an early knowledge of synthetic resins and polyurethanes. His furniture is exciting, both in its use of material as in the originality of his designs. Bellini did not believe in precise boundaries of design, instead, he designed for the relationship of man and environment.
