Mario Bellini “Amanta” Armchair for C&B Italia, First Edition, Late 1960s

An early and highly collectible first-edition example of Mario Bellini’s iconic Amanta armchair, produced by C&B Italia in the late 1960s. This rare version predates the more widely seen 1970s production, capturing the original vision of Bellini’s modular, low-slung design at its most experimental and pure. The sculptural white frame, set on discreet casters, cradles generously proportioned cushions, newly reupholstered in a warm caramel corduroy that adds depth and tactile richness. Both futuristic and inviting, this piece stands as a defining statement of Italian radical design—equally suited for collectors and interiors that value authenticity and bold character.
