Archetype Forms Le Bambole Armchair Construction:

  • Upholstery: Premium Leather, Suede, or Custom Fabric Selection from Archetype Forms
  • Structure: Steel Embedded in Polyurethane Wrapped in Polyester Fibre
  • Padding: Flexible High-Density Shaped Polyurethane Foam
  • Feet: Plastic

The Le Bambole Armchair 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 or leather.

Mario Bellini described Le Bambole as “not upholstered with fabric, but built in fabric,” highlighting its design in which the frame and padding are built within the fabric, making the fabric crucial to the structure’s integrity rather than just a decorative overlay.

The Le Bambole series is celebrated for its innovative construction and is included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
