The first comprehensive monograph on Mario Bellini, one of Italy's most multi-dimensional and influential designers. A central figure in Italy's emergence as a major design center in the 1960s, Mario Bellini is known for his elegant, dramatic, and often poetic designs, collaborating with companies such as Olivetti, Cassina, B&B Italia, Vitra, and Artemide. He was the subject of a retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in 1987 and has received eight Compasso d'Oro awards for industrial design.
The monograph is richly illustrated with over 500 images, including drawings and photographs from Mario Bellini's archive, opened to the public for the first time. It includes a complete catalog of Bellini's design works, thematically presented, from computers and typewriters to chairs, tables, sofas, and lighting fixtures. It also contains a series of essays, including an interview with Mario Bellini, covering various aspects of his career and design processes.
