An icon reborn and remastered, B&B Italia’s Le Bambole at 50

Still under the stewardship of Bellini – who has witnessed continued social revolution, as well as that of design, materials and technology, the renewal of Le Bambole represents the importance that history and contemporary design co-exist and learn from each other, combining endurance with the intelligence of today: ‘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, done with enthusiasm, with breadth, with decorations and with the original flourishes. We have recovered its charm, its sumptuous floridity, its softness,’ says Bellini.
