Teneride Chair by Mario Bellini

I had taken some photo’s from this chair at the Milan Triennale Design Museum last September, not knowing exactly what to think of this extraordinary chair, until Wright had it on auction on June 7, 2012:

185
Mario Bellini
Teneride chair
Cassina
Italy, 1970
molded polyurethane, lacquered wood, lacquered fiberglass
26.25 w x 25.5 d x 35.5 h inches

Made from a single piece of molded polyurethane, this experimental chair was technically difficult to create and was never put into production.

Estimate: $7,000–9,000
Result: $35,000

And now I’m more confused: Was the one I photographed a prototype? This prototype, or are there more prototypes?

About Louis Durot

French, born 1939

A chemical engineer by training, Louis Durot worked with the French artist Cesar developing new polyurethane materials before he started making his own designs. His furniture forms – lip-shaped settees, lounges that look like tongues and spiral chairs – are sensual and humorous expressions. Durot’s playful biomorphic functional objects are works of art that display his mastery in sculpting plastic.
