Mario Bellini
The Mario Bellini collection on Bazaa brings together key works by one of Italy’s most celebrated designers. With a career that spans architecture, industrial design, and publishing, Bellini has made a lasting contribution to modern design. His work combines formal precision with a deep understanding of function, making each piece visually striking and highly practical.
An award-winning legacy in design
Mario Bellini has received the prestigious Compasso d’Oro award eight times. His work is part of the permanent design collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, which dedicated a retrospective to him in 1987. These accolades reflect a consistent body of work that blends innovation and utility, earning global recognition across disciplines.
A career rooted in architecture and culture
While Bellini is best known for his furniture and product design, he has also played a key role in architecture and curatorial projects. He was editor of Domus magazine from 1985 to 1991, and he has curated major exhibitions in Italy and abroad. In the field of architecture, his work includes the Portello district in Milan, the Islamic Art wing of the Louvre in Paris, and the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne. His design practice remains active on international projects, ranging from museums to cultural centers and residential developments.
Designs that shape spaces
Bellini’s furniture is defined by its sculptural forms, subtle geometry, and material clarity. His seating systems, modular sofas, and storage designs offer versatility and strong visual identity. They are made to be lived in and used, but also to stand out in both private and public interiors.
