As auctioned by Wright
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 inchesMade 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?
