Description from the seller
Coffee table Amanta by Mario Bellini for B&B Italia (year 1973)
We present at auction a masterpiece of modern design and international collecting: the iconic living room table from the Amanta series, designed in 1966 by master Mario Bellini and produced by B&B Italia in 1973. A symbol piece of Italian design of the '60s and '70s, globally recognized for its material innovation and avant-garde formal clarity.
Design and history: the innovation of cast resin
The Amanta coffee table represents a milestone in the study and use of plastic materials applied to high-end furniture.
Formally and functionally masterful: designed to accompany the famous modular Amanta seating series, this table stands out for its inset tray top with raised edge. Its sculptural and essential form makes it a timeless classic of Space Age design.
Lot conditions:
This specimen is presented in excellent used condition, preserving its original charm.
The refined chocolate-toned structure is glossy and well preserved, though it shows some signs of wear consistent with the piece’s age.
The piece has been carefully cleaned and treated with products suitable for plastic materials to enhance its natural shine.
Dimensions:
Width: 70 cm
Depth: 70 cm
Height: 35.5 cm
The Designer: Mario Bellini
A multi-award-winning architect and designer of worldwide renown, Mario Bellini has won the prestigious Golden Compass (Compasso d'Oro) Award eight times. Twenty-five of his works are housed in the MoMA's permanent collection in New York, which dedicated a historic retrospective to him in 1987. Former editor of Domus from 1985 to 1991 and honored with the Gold Medal for career by the Triennale di Milano, Bellini has signed some of the most emblematic buildings and furnishings of contemporary architecture and design.
The Manufacturer: B&B Italia
Founded in 1966 as C&B (Cassina & Busnelli) and becoming B&B Italia in 1973, the company from Novedrate revolutionized the furniture sector by introducing cutting-edge industrial technologies, such as cold polyurethane molding. Thanks to collaborations with masters like Afra and Tobia Scarpa, Gaetano Pesce, Mario Bellini, and Antonio Citterio, B&B Italia has become a global reference for technological and aesthetic research in high-end design.
