In collaboration with HAY, Mario Bellini has reissued the iconic mid-century design inspired by his deep-rooted passion for architecture and the fluid forms of modernist sculpture. The Amanta is a bold reinterpretation of modular seating with its low-slung profile, organic contours and shell made from 99% recycled materials. Its adaptable design, crafted to perform independently or connected to other units, reflects Bellini’s commitment to both beauty and purpose.
Whether placed in a contemporary living room, creative studio or refined lounge space, the Amanta 1 Seater Sofa offers effortless comfort and ergonomic support. Choose from a curated palette of shell colours and premium upholstery options to ensure the lounge chair integrates seamlessly into your space.
