‘The Camaleonda has always been my dream sofa and it fits perfectly with our MotherQuarters HQ.’ – Jane Chuck

Designed in 1970 by Mario Bellini and selected for the landmark 1972 exhibition ‘Italy: The New Domestic Landscape,’ Camaleonda was relaunched by B&B Italia and Mario Bellini in 2020 with an eye on sustainability and refinement. Faithful to the original project are the sofa’s 900 by 900 mm modules, its backrest and armrest and the characteristic capitonné design, still manufactured with the innovative system of cables, hooks and rings. It’s on the inside where Bellini focused. The aim was to make the Camaleonda more comfortable and sustainable in fabrication and production methodology. With a new internal structure ‘built like a sandwich,’ each layer is made of recycled or recyclable materials and designed to be disassembled. The brilliance of the design lies in the sofa's tie-rods and rings. Modules can be unhooked and recombined in response to the dynamic needs of the user while simultaneously maintaining the sofa's unique identity.
