Blue Corduroy Velvet Camaleonda Modular Sofa by Mario Bellini for B&b Italia / C&b Italia, 1976, Set of 6

The sofa is very comfortable and the fact this wonderful piece is modular, provides endless flexible solutions for any project or living room. 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. Our modules are in perfect conditions and these retain their original upholstery and color that is always bright and gritty.

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. It is impossible to pigeon hole Bellini’s oeuvre, as his work is so complex and original.
