Camaleonda Green Velvet, three element sofa by Mario Bellini, B&B Italia, 1970's
-
Description
Camaleonda piece by Mario Bellini re-upholstered in dark green velvet. The listing includes three seating cushions, three back cushions, and two armrests. Extra modules and upholstery options are available. This design became famous almost immediately after it was featured in the exhibition and Italy and The New Domestic Landscape held in the MOMA Museum in 1972. Mario Bellini (1935-) is trained as an architect and became one of the leading designers in postwar Italian style. At the beginning of his career, he worked together with Olivetti and Cassina which resulted in an early knowledge of synthetic resins and polyurethanes. His furniture is exciting, both in its use of the material and 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 pigeonhole Bellini's oeuvre, as his work is so complex and original.
