Reintroduced in 2020 by B&B Italia, the Camaleonda sofa, originally designed by Mario Bellini in 1970, remains one of the most iconic modular sofas in Italian design. Faithful to the original concept, the re-edition preserves the characteristic 90 x 90 cm seating module, along with the backrest and armrest elements that define its distinctive aesthetic. Its innovative system of cables, hooks and rings allows each module to be attached or detached freely, creating a highly flexible modular sofa that can be reconfigured endlessly to suit evolving interiors and lifestyles. Originally produced from 1970 to 1979, Camaleonda quickly became a landmark in contemporary furniture design. Fifty years later, B&B Italia reintroduced this design classic with a renewed focus on sustainability. The structure is made from wooden panels, while the spherical feet are crafted from FSC-certified beech. Recyclable and recycled materials are also used throughout the sofa, including a removable dacron cover made from recycled PET that protects the generous polyurethane padding. The seat, carefully developed by the B&B Italia research and development team, combines multiple layers of foam to create a soft, spring-like comfort. This construction highlights the unique balance that defines Camaleonda: the strict geometry of its square modules contrasted with the welcoming softness of its deep tufted upholstery. Designed as a versatile modular seating system, Camaleonda allows users to redesign their living space by rearranging seats, backrests and armrests, offering nearly infinite configuration possibilities. Available in the full range of fabrics and leathers from B&B Italia, the Camaleonda sofa can be upholstered in the Bellini fabric, known for its rich texture and slightly iridescent appearance. Its high pile and subtle slub effects add depth and movement to the surface, enhancing the generous volumes of this iconic design sofa.
