Designed by Mario Bellini in 1998, The Bellini Chair received the 2001 Compasso d'Oro, Italy's most prestigious design award. It also won the 1999 ID Annual Design Review Design Distinction Award and the 1999 Bronze IDEA Industrial Design Excellence Award.

From the International Press about The Bellini Chair

"One of the most intelligent chairs in the world...Mario Bellini has designed a truly universal chair, for the home, for contracting, for offices..." - Interni

"...an all-time classic that will be hard to beat." - Abitare

"...a stunning measure of seating comfort." - MD

"Sir Terence Conran nominated the Bellini chair for Heller as one of the all-time intelligently designed pieces of furniture. 'For [£120] you have a piece of sculpture in your home,' Sir Terence said. In fact he has the Mario Bellini-designed seat which is made from injection moulded plastic, in his London office." - The New York Times

"Is there such a thing as an instant classic? We think it may be Mario Bellini's design for Heller...The Bellini Chair distills the form to its essence and has garnered five design awards through the late 1990s. More than just beautiful, it is exceptionally comfortable, sturdy, and inexpensive. It's also easy to clean and stack. Such a rare combination of virtues makes this chair wonderfully versatile. It's tough enough to withstand rough use in a fast-paced restaurant, while elegant enough to to flatter a sophisticated design studio or home...Heller's Bellini Chair is sublime in both form and function...a modern icon" - Design Within Reach

"It is like a sculpture cast in the finest mould...the shape of the chair is self explanatory, and sitting is believing. The Bellini Chair is a no-problem chair, for use at home, in the office, outdoors. It can be moved with ease (it weighs 3.4kg) and stacked if necessary. It will cost the price of an ordinary, unpretentious, anonymous chair. And for a designer we believe that is the best of compliments." - Domus
