Few houses create timeless products the way B&B Italia does.

B&B Italia made furniture offers a tailored experience in their timeless products.

Le Bambole collection by Mario Bellini celebrated its 50^th anniversary with one of the most iconic and ever evolving creations. This renewed version is more comfortable and increasingly sustainable, recapturing the look of the original.

“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”. Mario Bellini

Favoring the feminine curvy shapes, new elements were also born into the collection: the Bambola armchair, the Bibambola two-seater sofa, the Bamboletto double bed. In addition, the three-seater sofa has been updated with a deeper seat called the Granbambola. The original construction of these pieces was based on a metal structure embedded in polyurethane, now the materials used are of recycled polyethylene giving the structure added shape and comfort.

Even more appealing for this revisioning is the collaboration with Stella McCartney and B&B Italia that was introduced at the Stella McCartney’s “Future of Fashion” in Milan. This partnership introduced the 100% biodegradable and toxin free polyester design with an exclusive hand-drawn “Fungi Forest” print upholstery pulled from the Summer 2022 runway collection.

B&B Italia provides our BeDESIGN clients with more care and attention to production, appreciation for design, locally sourced and sustainable materials, unaffected by the fads that come and go; these qualities ensure those that have invested and get exactly what they want.

B&B Italia is incredibly well made, comfortable, and exclusive to BeDESIGN located in Houston, Texas.

The B&B Italia Legacy

Founded in 1966, B&B Italia rewrote the rules of furniture making by bringing industrial research into a craft tradition. Its pioneering use of cold-shaped polyurethane created silhouettes that were simply impossible before, and collaborations with architects like Gaetano Pesce, Antonio Citterio, and Patricia Urquiola filled the catalogue with genuine icons. Many of these timeless products sit in the permanent collections of design museums worldwide, a rare distinction for furniture that is also profoundly comfortable to live with every day.

Timeless Products Worth Knowing

Start with the Camaleonda sofa, whose modular, gloriously plush geometry defined 1970s glamour and returned to massive acclaim. The UP chair by Gaetano Pesce remains one of design history’s boldest statements, while the Charles sofa established the low, architectural profile that contemporary living rooms still favor. Each demonstrates the house’s gift for timeless products and pieces that feel radical at launch and inevitable a decade later.
