Italian mid-century modern daybed
This mid-century modern daybed, model “Le Bambole – Bamboletto”, was designed by Mario Bellini and manufactured by B&B Italia in the 1970s. A special edition within the celebrated Bambole series, the daybed embodies Bellini’s vision of reducing furniture to its most archetypal form of comfort. Upholstered in supple leather, its sculptural simplicity makes it one of the most collectible Italian design pieces of the 20th century.
Style, comfort, and application
The Bamboletto translates Bellini’s radical design research into a minimalist daybed of sculptural purity. Defined by precise stitching and soft geometry, the piece reflects the designer’s exploration of comfort without rigid structures. This edition also features a foldable design, allowing the daybed to transform seamlessly between seating and lounging. Both practical and elegant, it is ideal for luxury interiors, collector’s homes, or gallery-like spaces.
Bellini’s design heritage
Mario Bellini (b. 1935), one of Italy’s most acclaimed architects and designers, collaborated with C&B Italia (renamed B&B Italia in 1976) to produce some of the most iconic works of modern furniture. The Bambole series was awarded the Compasso d’Oro in 1979, securing its place in design history. The Bamboletto remains one of the rarest expressions of this seminal collection, embodying both comfort innovation and aesthetic clarity.
