Mario Bellini Pianura seating group produced by Cassina, Italy 1970s

Rare Mario Bellini Pianura seating group produced by Cassina, Italy 1970s. This set consists of a 3-seater sofa, 2 lounge chairs and a matching coffee table. This modular sofa was presented in 1972, just a couple of years after launching the iconic “Camaleonda” and the same year of “Le Mura”. With this particular model, Bellini develops some unconventional features. The name “Pianura” in Italian means “flatland” and recalls, in fact, the smooth lines of this piece.

The structure is made of Italian walnut, resting on four spherical gum feet. The large and flat armrests dialogue with the slightly curved backrest and the seat, creating an elegant and timeless design. The dynamism of the piece is created by some specific details. The large and flat armrests give a particular vibration jointing the backseat and slightly overpassing it. The backrest is conceived in three different pieces, one single horizontal element on top and two vertical elements with a slit in the middle, creating a vibrant game also with the different wooden grain on the back.
