Mario Bellini

Mario Bellini (b. 1935) is an Italian architect and designer known for his innovation in furniture and industrial design. He began his career after graduating from the Politecnico di Milano in 1959. Among Bellini's recognizable works is his Cab Chair series (1977), which features a unique leather "skin" zipped over a steel skeleton; and, his Le Bambole sofa series (1972), which pioneered the use of polyurethane foam moulding, creating soft, inviting forms that challenged traditional furniture construction. Bellini's architectural work includes the Tokyo Design Center and the renovation of the Milan Convention Center . His designs continue to influence modern furniture and industrial design.

Archetype Forms Le Bambole Modular Sofa Paired Set | Loveseat Construction:

Upholstery: Premium Leather, Suede, or Custom Fabric Selection from Archetype Forms

The Le Bambole modules feature padding made of flexible, cold-shaped polyurethane foam and polyester fiber. The frame is constructed from durable polyethylene. The cover for the Le Bambole series is available in fabric or leather.

Mario Bellini described his Le Bambole pieces as “not upholstered with fabric, but built in fabric,” highlighting their design in which the frame and padding are built within the upholstery. The fabric is an integral part that forms its structure rather than simply being an upholstery overlay.

The corner elements included in the Archetype Forms set function as side pieces of a sofa, corner pieces in a large L- or U-shaped sofa, or two paired together make this loveseat. It features padding made of flexible, cold-shaped polyurethane foam and polyester fiber. The frame is constructed from durable polyethylene. The cover is available in fabric, suede, or aniline leather.

Bellini once stated, “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works,” reflecting his commitment to functionality in furniture design. The Archetype Forms Le Bambole Series is a multifunctional seating system with endless configurations based on the setting or mood of the time.
