Manufacturer: B&B Italia | Designer: Mario Bellini, 1970
In its reissue, Camaleonda preserves the elements that have made it a contemporary classic. By mutual agreement, Mario Bellini and B&B Italia kept the 90×90cm seat module, backrest, and armrest faithful to the original project — whose original cutting pattern was used for the new edition. The generous polyurethane padding that forms the characteristic capitónné design remains unchanged, still manufactured with the innovative system of cables, hooks and rings created by Bellini in 1970. Thanks to the tie-rods and rings, modules can be unhooked and recombined at will.
The Camaleonda Exclusive Edition is available in two configurations only, each upholstered exclusively in New Bellini fabric — a high-pile textile with a slightly iridescent surface and delicate slub effects along the weft that add depth and movement. Composed of 77% polyester and 23% recycled cotton, Bellini fabric is warm and visually rich, enhancing the sculptural forms of the sofa with a presence that is striking yet well balanced.
With a Martindale resistance of 60,000 rubs, New Bellini fabric performs equally well in residential settings and high-traffic public spaces. Among the fabrics used on Camaleonda, Bellini positions itself between Enia and Licata — offering the thickness of Licata combined with the distinctive slub detailing of Enia.
