Mario Bellini

Mario Bellini (b. 1935) has designed across more disciplines than almost any other Italian of his generation — architecture, industrial design, furniture, and graphic work — but his furniture for Cassina and his machines for Olivetti define his legacy. The Camaleonda modular sofa (1971), the Le Bambole armchair (Compasso d'Oro, 1979), and the Cab chair with its leather-stitched steel frame are among the most innovative furniture concepts of the post-war era.

Bellini's ability to combine advanced industrial thinking with sensuous material quality made him a permanent presence in the MoMA collection. Collectors Network features authenticated Mario Bellini pieces from specialist vintage dealers across Europe.
