It represents  another winning design by Architect Mario Bellini after the Camaleonda, Amanta and Scacchi collection. At the time the Bambole collection was seen as a totally new approach to living, a daring new concept with innovative materials starting from the new and interior constructions which was made using multi density polyurethane foam supported not by conventional frames and belts but by four metal vertical inserts at the front and back connected by a metal base. The polyurethane molded structure played a key role in defining the comfort of this sofa, a sofa with no conventional bearing structure.  The collection was a variety of elements to combine or kept separate, a long three seater sofa a settee, chairs, lounge chairs and day beds.
