Description from the seller
Amanta Coffee Table by Mario Bellini for B&B Italia (1973)
We present at auction a masterpiece of modern design and international collecting: the iconic Amanta coffee table, designed in 1966 by master Mario Bellini and produced by B&B Italia in 1973. A symbolic piece of Italian design from the 1960s and 1970s, globally recognized for its material innovation and its avant-garde clean lines.
Design and history: the innovation of molded resin
The Amanta coffee table marks a milestone in the study and use of plastic materials applied to high-end furniture.
Formal and functional mastery: designed to accompany the famous modular Amanta seating series, this table stands out for its tray-set top with a 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 frame appears 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 specific to plastic materials to enhance its natural sheen.
Dimensions:
Width: 70 cm
Depth: 70 cm
Height: 35.5 cm
The Designer: Mario Bellini
A multi-award-winning architect and world-renowned designer, Mario Bellini has won the prestigious Compasso d’Oro Award eight times. Twenty-five of his works are housed in 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 recipient of the Gold Medal for a career from 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 Novedrate-based company transformed the furniture sector by introducing cutting-edge industrial technologies, such as warm-cured polyurethane molding. Through 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.
