Mario Bellini Scacchi Complement Tables

The three components that make up the whimsical Gli Scacchi collection, which is named after and inspired by the game of chess, stand in for the Queen, the Knight, and the Ruck. Gli Scacchi is built on the concept of life without restrictions and is light and simple to move about as on a chessboard. The three components combine to form a parallelepiped using soft polyurethane constructions that are well matched to the Camaleonda range of chairs. Gli Scacchi was created in self-skinning polyurethane foam in the original 1971 form, which was a notable technological accomplishment at the time because it had previously only been applied to the automobile sector. The 2020 edition has thick leather or soft Kanu covering with visible stitching.
