How Much Does A Mario Bellini Camaleonda Actually Cost?

The burning question you’re all dying to ask. Here’s how much my Mario Bellini Camaleonda costs.

My first encounter with the Mario Bellini Camaleonda was actually in a college studio class (before Instagram and Pinterest came to be - yep aging myself here!) We were studying many great furniture designers at the time ranging from Tadao Ando to Ron Arad. It was then a simmering infatuation for modern design and decor blossomed. It was the point of no return for me.

Eat. Drink. Nap. That’s all I am doing on my Mario Bellini Camaleonda sofa from Eternity Modern.

Fast forward, many moons later, I learned that BB Italia was relaunching a more sustainable and updated version of the Camaleonda. I devoured this piece of news. I obsessed and fawned over any marketing visuals released of this Mario Bellini classic. I knew I had to have it. But how was I going to do it? Not many people, including myself, have $22,000+ dollars worth of dispensable income at the ready to pull the trigger for such an iconic sofa.

I wasn’t ready to admit defeat in my search yet.

That’s when my continued research into authentic reproductions of the Camaleonda led me to Eternity Modern. I was thrilled but skeptical at first, so I phoned one of their customer agents to quell my fears. The agent walked me through their decades of experience with modern furniture icons and reassured me that their Camaleonda reproduction is produced nearly identical to the original and that every detail, down to the leather and firmness of the sofa, was entirely customizable to my liking! It was truly music to my ears. 

Best of all, the total price fit my budget. I spent just under $6,000 for a custom, Mario Bellini Camaleonda in aniline leather. Aniline leather is known for its buttery, high-end finish that will last for years to come. I placed an order immediately over the phone.

While the 3 month-long wait proved to be excruciating, it was all worth it when the Camaleonda was delivered through Eternity Modern's white glove service and arrived in pristine condition. Every detail of this modern and iconic sofa is simply sublime. It's striking but soft pillowy design contours nicely for everyday sitting and activities. Just like that, it was love at first sight. A love that started 10 years ago in a design studio class has come full circle.

If you’re considering investing in a modern, high-quality and timeless reproduction of an iconic piece, I cannot recommend Eternity Modern enough. They will work with you every step of the way to ensure you’re happy with the final product. Personalized customer service is becoming increasingly rare these days, so you really can’t go wrong here. Don’t just take my word for it - head on over to their product pages and see for yourself!
