“An all-time classic that will be hard to beat." - Abitare
The Bellini chair is often hailed as a piece of modern sculpture in its own right... a versatile and low-cost chair that appeals to the senses. The Bellini Chair has the uncanny ability to elevate its surroundings... a grouping can transform even the most dreary sidewalk into an impromptu 'design happening' that excites and invites dialogue. A smart choice for the home, restaurant or office... the question becomes not whether you should specify the Bellini chair, but how many?
