Camaleonda modular sofa is designed by Mario Bellini for B&B Italia with a base in MDF, a seat padded with shaped polyurethane in varying densities, a backrest padded with shaped polyurethane and expanded polyurethane, and armrests filled with expanded polyurethane. Modules connected using brass rings, polypropylene cords, and stainless steel carabiners with plastic cord stoppers. Feet crafted from solid beechwood with plastic tips. Removable upholstery available in either fabric or leather finished with metal studs. Multiple types of upholstery can be combined in a single composition, allowing for personalized configurations.
Camaleonda is the modular capitonné sofa born from the revolutionary vision of Mario Bellini in 1970, and now the focus of a reissue celebrating its 50th anniversary. This updated edition preserves all the features that made it a timeless icon: the 90×90 cm seat module, the backrest, the armrest, and the elegant capitonné detailing—made possible by Bellini’s original system of cables, hooks, and rings. These elements allow the modules to be detached and rearranged with total freedom, giving the sofa an almost limitless versatility.
This reissue is the result of a meticulous and structured collaboration between Mario Bellini and the B&B Italia Research & Development Centre. The goal was to maintain full fidelity to the original design—including the use of original templates for cutting the upholstery—while introducing contemporary solutions to enhance comfort and sustainability. The internal structure has been entirely redesigned using a “sandwich” construction method with recycled or recyclable materials that can be easily disassembled, aligning the sofa with principles of circular design.
Camaleonda is more than a sofa—it is an architectural system that shapes the living space. Each module acts like a pixel in a custom composition: by combining seats, backrests, and armrests, the form and configuration can be changed endlessly, adapting to evolving tastes and needs.
