'Amanta' Fiberglass Lounge Chair by Mario Bellini for C&B Italia, c. 1966 Signed
This 'Amanta' lounge chair by Mario Bellini for C&B Italia is special and unique because it is from the original years of production between 1966 and 1972 prior to B&B's production years. This example is ideal for a collector client. It is rare to find an original production set from the original C&B years of production.
C&B Italia was the original company formed in 1966 by Cesare Cassina (of the company Cassina) and Piero Ambrogio Busnelli. In 1973 Cassina left and C&B became B&B Italia owned and operated by the Busnelli family still to this day.
The 'Amanta' system was designed in 1966 by Mario Bellini in the same year C&B was formed. This lounge chair was from the original production years from 1966 to 1972. The innovative Fiberlite frames are lightweight and strong. Round black rubber feet on top of blue fabric cushions. Signed on the fiberglass frames underneath and under the seat cushions with original C&B labels and embossing (seen in photos).
This Mario Bellini 'Amanta' sectional sofa system would work great in a Post-Modern, Mid-Century Modern, Space Age Mod, Scandanavian Modern or Danish Modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary or Zen / Minimalism room. Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, Hollywood Regency, Classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office. Consider using as a three seat sofa, a settee and lounge chair or three separate side chairs, bedside chairs, fireside chairs, dressing or changing room chairs, hallway chairs, entryway or mudroom chairs, nursing or reading chairs, guest chairs, lobby chairs, lounge chairs or occasional chairs ideal in virtually any setting.
