Mario Bellini’s Camaleonda: where to buy the Birkin bag of sofas

where to buy camaleonda sofa

As the past few years has forced us to be more inside and in turn, get extremely familiar with our spaces, there has been an interiors boom of seismic magnitude. The very beige interior aesthetic has prevailed, leaving boucle furniture at the top of many people's lists, alongside Cesca chairs, marble finishes, and the statement sofa.

It has been the focal point of our universe for better or for worse in the past two-ish years. On Instagram and in the home, the It couch is both an aspirational marker of taste and status, and the place where we are subsequently going to be spending the most time, making it a relatively sound investment. There has been the Ligne Roset Togo Sofa, de Sede Terrazza Sofa and DS 600 Non-Stop, the Maralunga Sofa, and the Birkin bag of It couches, the B&B Italia Mario Bellini Camaleonda.

After creating the low slung, 70s style sofa in the 1970s for B&B Italia, the furniture company only made it for a few years before cancelling the style, relegating us to luxury second hand furniture sites like 1stDibs to swoon over rare vintage Camaleonda's. Last year, due to a huge surge in popularity, B&B reissued the Camaleonda, making it available to purchase once again in an endless offering of fabrics.

With it's sensual curves and conversation-pit style modular configuration, it isn't hard to see why the Camaleonda has taken over the corner of the internet with an affinity for interiors. For many, it is merely an idea. For others, a statement piece that money can't put a price on, especially when it is such a timeless, iconic design. If you are in the latter camp and are ready to explore purchasing one, below is where to buy the Mario Bellini Camaleonda Sofa.
