1970s Italian Pianura Armchairs & Table by Mario Bellini for Cassina

Italian vintage walnut and leather armchair set

This Pianura set by Mario Bellini for Cassina is a refined example of 1970s Italian design. Designed in 1970, it includes two low armchairs with sculptural walnut frames and supple black leather cushions, accompanied by a matching walnut coffee table. The ensemble reflects Bellini’s mastery of proportion and the decade’s bold experimentation with form and material.

Armchairs with architectural presence

The wide proportions and low-slung silhouette make these armchairs both inviting and visually striking. The walnut arms extend in sharp horizontal planes, while the black rubber feet add discreet stability. Paired with the matching walnut coffee table, the set forms a cohesive and functional interior statement.

Cassina and Bellini in the 1970s

In 1970, Mario Bellini introduced the Pianura series, characterized by geometric clarity, natural materials, and sculptural volumes. Produced by Cassina, the series highlights the company’s golden era of craftsmanship and innovation. Today, the Pianura pieces remain highly collectible, recognized as icons of 1970s Italian postmodern furniture.
