Mario Bellini Le Bambole Sofa B&B Italia 1970s newly upholstered
Located in Jersey City, NJ
Very Rare Mario Bellini Authentic Vintage 'Le Bambole' Sofa made of 4 modular elements, two armless elements and two corner end elements. Rare composition due to the presence of two corner elements (which are very difficult to find on the market) which allow for different layouts. Pictures show different settings for the same sofa. Made late 1970s, restored inside and out, and newly upholstered. You can use these four pieces in several layouts, L shape corner, a three large seater and one separate chair, a settee and two separate chairs or a four seater long sofa. Authentic from the period and fully restored by our skilled Italian upholsterer, with new luxury Italian boucle' fabric upholstery in white. Original bottom jute with B&B brand name (under the sofa) and original B&B label.
Dimensions: Corner layout as shown in the pictures: 101" x 66"
Each armless chair : 31" w x 35" d
Each corner/end chair: 34" w x 35" d
Height is 28/30" at top
Seat height 18"
All sizes are approximate. Can be arranged in several configurations.
Material: Italian boucle' in white, sourced in Italy, a blend of viscose, wool, linen, cotton and synthetic.
Condition: excellent, fully restored inside and out. We kept the original jute at the bottom which bears manufacturer B&B Italia stamp on jute. The jute is the original one and presents some wear due to the fact that it is in direct contact with floor. The jute is not visible as it is under the sofa. The djute has been completely relined in the interior.
Le Bambole is an iconic design from the 1970s and 1980s, originally designed in 1972 for C&B Italia. It is another timeless design conceived by Architect Mario Bellini after the Camaleonda, Amanta and Scacchi collections. It's design was revolutionary: construction was made by multi density polyurethane foam shaping into a whole cushion for the seat and back, not supported by conventional frames and belts but by four metal vertical inserts at the front and back connected by a light metal base. The polyurethane molded structure played a key role in defining the comfort of this sofa which initially was conceived for softness and comfort on every angle, with the consequential disappearance of bulky bearing structures and stiff corners. The many different elements of the collection spanned from armchairs to sectional elements to chaises to give user multiple possibilities to create unique personalized layouts. It seems almost natural that Le Bambole won the Compasso D’Oro award in 1979. From there it was an escalation of successes. The sofa is now part of the Museum of Modern Art of New York permanent collection. Even its marketing campaign made people talk when the company hired photographer Oliviero Toscani to shoot the ad campaign. The testimonial was model and Andy Warhol muse Donna Jordan...

Art Deco P.E.L. Cantilever Chrome Sofa, for Odeon Cinemas circa 1930s
Located in Hastings, GB
An elegant and rare tubular steel modernist sofa attributed to PEL (Practical Equipment Ltd) The chromium plated steel wraps around the back and forms the armrests. It is upholstered in an old neutral textile and is ready for recovering. This sofa was commissioned for the lobby of a series of odeon cinemas opened in the early 1930's, notably the Muswell Hill Odeon, designed by George Coles. This sofa offers a rarely found intact example of British modernism in the golden age of cinema, influenced by the 30s designs of the German Bauhaus and their pioneering work in tubular steel furniture.
The frame bears all the hallmarks and design details of Practical Equipment Ltd. It was most likely designed for PEL by either Oliver Bernard or Serge Chermayeff.
We offer in-house upholstery and advice on suitable fabrics to complete this sofa's restoration. Price on application.
Practical Equipment Ltd, known later simply as PEL, were the leading manufacturers of modernist tubular steel furniture in Britain. Established in Oldbury, near Birmingham the company was formed in 1931 by parent company Tube Investments, who were hoping to emulate the success of Thonet in producing tubular steel furniture. Critically acclaimed designers who worked with PEL included Oliver Bernard, Bruno Pollak and Serge Chermayeff. Design projects of note which featured PEL furniture...

21st Century Sketch Gallery Charlotte Chair Pierre Frey Rose Velvet Rose Leather
Located in London, GB
Scenographer, architect and designer India Mahdavi was approached by Mourad Mazouz the founder of Sketch in 2014 to reinvent the Gallery restaurant. The monochrome was contrived as an immersive installation echoing British artist David Shrigley’s 239 drawings in a soft embrace. It has since become one of the most Instagrammed restaurants in the world.
The shape of the plush Charlotte armchair was influenced by the Charlotte cake with finger cookies, alluding to the love of sweet pastries. It was designed as a treat for the restaurant, as an invitation to take tea and it has become one of India’s iconic furniture pieces As part of sketch’s long term artist conceived projects India has recently re-imagined the gallery with British Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare CBE – it is for this reason why the original Charlotte chairs are now for sale.

Antique, New and Vintage Seating
With entire areas of our homes reserved for “sitting rooms,” the value of quality antique and vintage seating cannot be overstated.
Fortunately, the design of side chairs, armchairs and other lounge furniture — since what were, quite literally, the early perches of our ancestors — has evolved considerably.
Among the earliest standard seating furniture were stools. Egyptian stools, for example, designed for one person with no seat back, were x-shaped and typically folded to be tucked away. These rudimentary chairs informed the design of Greek and Roman stools, all of which were a long way from Sori Yanagi's Butterfly stool or Alvar Aalto's Stool 60. In the 18th century and earlier, seats with backs and armrests were largely reserved for high nobility.
The seating of today is more inclusive but the style and placement of chairs can still make a statement. Antique desk chairs and armchairs designed in the style of Louis XV, which eventually included painted furniture and were often made of rare woods, feature prominently curved legs as well as Chinese themes and varied ornaments. Much like the thrones of fairy tales and the regency, elegant lounges crafted in the Louis XV style convey wealth and prestige. In the kitchen, the dining chair placed at the head of the table is typically reserved for the head of the household or a revered guest.
Of course, with luxurious vintage or antique furnishings, every chair can seem like the best seat in the house. Whether your preference is stretching out on a plush sofa, such as the Serpentine, designed by Vladimir Kagan, or cozying up in a vintage wingback chair, there is likely to be a comfy classic or contemporary gem for you on 1stDibs.
With respect to the latest obsessions in design, cane seating has been cropping up everywhere, from sleek armchairs to lounge chairs, while bouclé fabric, a staple of modern furniture design, can be seen in mid-century modern, Scandinavian modern and Hollywood Regency furniture styles.
Admirers of the sophisticated craftsmanship and dark woods frequently associated with mid-century modern seating can find timeless furnishings in our expansive collection of lounge chairs, dining chairs and other items — whether they’re vintage editions or alluring official reproductions of iconic designs from the likes of Hans Wegner or from Charles and Ray Eames. Shop our inventory of Egg chairs, designed in 1958 by Arne Jacobsen, the Florence Knoll lounge chair and more.
No matter your style, the collection of antique, new and vintage seating on 1stDibs is surely worthy of a standing ovation.
