Mario Bellini’s visionary pieces have earned a string of accolades, cementing their place in design history - and the Amanta is no exception, now housed in the permanent collection of New York’s Museum of Modern Art. Defined by its low profile, distinctive shell and modular design, the sofa is a remarkably versatile piece that can easily adapt to different settings and situations.
Keeping with the innovative Italian spirit of the mid-century era, the shell and feet have been updated for modern living, using at least 99% post-consumer recycled content. The furniture is 100% recyclable, including all of its parts, which can be fully separated. Better yet, tailor the Amanta Sofa to your space with a thoughtfully curated selection of shell colourways and high-end upholstery.
The Amanta is also available as a singular unit lounge chair.

In 1963 he was team leader with Olivetti, for typewriters and computers, and during this time won various SMAU (Information and Communication Technology International Exhibition) awards for some projects.
