Pair of vintage loungechairs by Mario Bellini C&B Italia Amanta 1970s

This set of 2 Amanta armchairs comes in an unusual color combination of blue-gray fabric and white fiberglass shells. The fabric cover is in very good condition, but the upper back cushions of both armchairs are slightly but evenly faded. The armchairs can be placed individually or combined to form a sofa. The Italian manufacture C&B Italia was founded by Cesare Cassina and Piero Busnelli and was completely taken over by Busnelli in 1973. At that time the company was renamed B&B Italia. The Amanta armchair was designed by Mario Bellini for C&B Italia in 1963 and is one of his most famous designs.
