5 Piece Suite + 2 Matching Coffee Tables
Designed by Mario Bellini, Italy, c.1970s
A true icon of Italian modernism.
This original B&B Italia Amanta modular lounge suite is one of the most recognisable and collectible seating systems of the 1970s — and for good reason. Designed by Mario Bellini, the Amanta perfectly captures the shift toward relaxed, architectural living that defined the decade.
This set includes:
• Five original Amanta lounge modules
• Two matching Amanta coffee tables - one in excellent polished condition the other - not so much but a useful addition should you want it
— allowing for flexible configurations depending on your space.
Design & Construction
The brilliance of the Amanta lies in its construction.
Each module is built around a moulded structural shell — a sculptural, low-profile frame that acts as both support and visual anchor. The seating itself sits within the frame rather than on top of it, giving the suite its signature grounded, architectural stance.
The shell construction allows the upholstery to appear soft and relaxed, while the base maintains crisp, modern lines.
This tension between softness and structure is what makes the Amanta so enduring.
• Deep channelled cushions
• Integrated buttoning
• Modular flexibility
• Sculptural presence from every angle
The matching coffee tables echo the same low, geometric language — designed to sit seamlessly within the configuration.
Condition
Presented in excellent original condition.
• Original corduroy upholstery
• All buttons intact
• Frames, feet and clips intact and without cracks
• Cushions in excellent condition
• Frames strong and clean
Importantly — this set has not been over-restored or altered.
It retains the authenticity collectors look for.
Why It Matters
The Amanta is one of B&B Italia’s most recognisable modular systems and is increasingly sought after worldwide.
