In 1998, we placed six Bellini Chairs in an all-white, 50-foot-long booth at the annual Salone furniture fair in Milan. We knew this modern indoor-outdoor chair was something special and deserved a striking debut – and to say we stole the show would be an understatement. Everyone who walked by stopped to admire the sleek, sculptural lines. Some asked if there's a metal frame hidden inside (there isn't). But the most striking response was when the owner of a leading furniture retailer saw it and stopped the presses on his catalog to add The Bellini Chair to its cover. Today, the Bellini continues to impress. Exceptionally comfortable with a slightly flexible back, this sturdy, stackable, lightweight chair is tough enough to withstand use in a busy restaurant and elegant enough to flatter a sophisticated studio or home. This chair earned celebrated Italian architect and designer Mario Bellini his eighth Compasso d'Oro award in 2001. Bellini resides in the design collections of many museums worldwide. Made in USA, this indoor-outdoor chair is stackable up to six high.
