Cutter

Cutter is Mario Bellini’s new chair with strong and decisive aesthetics which create a new type of seating.‎ The back of the chair is slashed by a cut which is pays homage to the great artist Lucio Fontana.‎ Although evident, Cutter’s nature does not only lie in an aesthetic choice but generates an unprecedented type of seating.‎ The twin backrest’s ends are functional and comfortable in a frontal position, while moving independently and allowing a lateral position.‎ This gesture is suitable for chatting with the person seated nearby.‎ It is also designed to ensure high comfort seating and casual movements, allowing the user to lean on one side with an arm placed around the backrest.‎ The seating frame is made of metal and webbing, softened by a classic polyurethane upholstery.‎ To guarantee elasticity and strength to the double backrest, B&B Italia’s Research & Development Centre has opted for a sophisticated harmonic steel core.‎ The upholstery and cover fully envelop the chair in grain thick leather, creating an ideal synthesis of softness and rigour, underlined by saddle stitching.‎ The central cut reveals an inner part in refined black saffiano thick leather, as if Cutter’s soul peeps out from this dramatic opening.‎
