The second collaboration between B&B Italia and Stella McCartney is born from the British designer’s admiration for Mario Bellini’s work and reaffirms her commitment to innovation and environmental care.

 

In 2022, their first collaboration brought the “Le Bambole” armchair to life. Now, Bellini’s classic design is transformed with McCartney’s S-Wave monogram, a pattern inspired by natural elements symbolizing the brand’s commitment to sustainability.

The new “Camaleonda” is made almost entirely from sustainable materials, demonstrating B&B Italia’s excellence in R&D. Its upholstery uses OceanSafe naNea yarn, a biodegradable material, Cradle to Cradle Gold certified, and free of harmful substances. Moreover, it offers the same performance as conventional fabrics without releasing microplastics.

Sustainable luxury

Available in soft, muted shades of pink and beige, the sofa radiates a serene and comfortable aesthetic. Its modular design allows creative reconfiguration of arms, backs, and seats, providing the possibility to mix and match colors for a personalized style.

This special edition of the “Camaleonda” is proof that high quality and luxury can go hand in hand with sustainability, marking a trend toward a more responsible future for the planet.
