Mario Bellini's 932 Quartet Leather Sectional Sofa

Product Description

Mario Bellini's 932 Quartet Leather Sectional Sofa, offered by Vintara Design, is a replica of the iconic 932 Quartet Sofa designed by Italian architect and designer Mario Bellini for Cassina in 1964. This sofa embodies Bellini’s signature approach to modular design, blending mid-century modern aesthetics with functional versatility:

• Design: The 932 Quartet Sofa is a modular piece defined by its minimalist yet impactful design. It features independent units bound together by simple strap detailing, allowing for flexible configurations to suit various spaces and preferences. The sofa’s low-profile form exudes a sense of relaxed luxury, with soft, inviting cushions that encourage lounging. Its clean lines and geometric modularity reflect the innovative spirit of the 1960s, capturing the era’s emphasis on freedom and adaptability in furniture design [Web ID: 15] [Web ID: 16] [Web ID: 18].
• Materials:
  • Frame: Constructed with a sturdy wooden frame, providing a solid foundation for the sectional’s modular structure [Web ID: 2].
  • Upholstery: Upholstered in premium aniline leather, offering a luxurious, soft-to-the-touch finish that develops a rich patina over time. The leather is available in classic tones such as tan, brown, or black, as seen in vintage listings of the original design [Web ID: 16] [Web ID: 18].
  • Padding: Padded with high-density polyurethane foam, ensuring a comfortable and supportive seating experience that retains its shape over time [Web ID: 2].
• Customization: Vintara Design offers customization options, allowing you to select leather colors and potentially adjust the configuration to fit your space, aligning with their broader approach to bespoke furniture [Web ID: 0] [Web ID: 22].
• Versatility: Ideal for modern living rooms, lofts, or open-plan spaces, this sectional sofa adapts to changing needs with its modular design. The ability to detach and recombine units makes it a versatile piece that can evolve with your lifestyle [Web ID: 2] [Web ID: 18]. This sofa reflects Mario Bellini’s legacy as a pioneer of modular furniture, with a design that prioritizes both ergonomic comfort and aesthetic innovation. Bellini, a celebrated architect and designer, is known for iconic pieces like the Camaleonda and Le Bambole, and the 932 Quartet is a testament to his ability to create timeless, functional art [Web ID: 15] [Web ID: 19].

Product Care Instructions

The Vintara Design page does not provide specific care instructions for this replica, but based on the materials described (aniline leather, polyurethane foam, and wooden frame) and standard care practices for similar high-end furniture, the following guidelines apply:

• Aniline Leather Upholstery:
  • Cleaning: Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dirt buildup. For spills, blot immediately with a dry cloth to absorb moisture, then clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed, avoiding over-wetting. Use a leather-specific cleaner for stains, following the product’s instructions.
  • Maintenance: Apply a leather conditioner every 6–12 months to prevent drying or cracking, as aniline leather is sensitive to moisture loss. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent fading or drying, which can degrade the leather’s natural oils and cause cracking over time. Test cleaners on a hidden area first to ensure compatibility.
• Polyurethane Foam Padding:
  • Cleaning: Spot-clean spills immediately with a dry cloth to prevent absorption. Avoid soaking, as foam can retain moisture, leading to degradation or mold growth.
  • Maintenance: Ensure proper ventilation to prevent mustiness, especially in humid environments. Fluff the cushions occasionally to maintain their shape and prevent uneven wear.
• Wooden Frame:
  • Cleaning: Dust with a dry cloth or clean with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, drying immediately to avoid moisture damage, which can cause warping or cracking in wood.
  • Maintenance: Apply wood polish or wax every few months to maintain the finish and protect the wood’s natural grain. Avoid humid environments to prevent warping or swelling of the wood.
• General Tips:
  • Place the sofa on a flat, stable surface to avoid structural stress, which could loosen the modular connections over time.
  • Use a leather protector spray to enhance stain resistance, testing first on a hidden area to avoid discoloration.
  • Vacuum or dust regularly to prevent dirt accumulation, which can abrade the leather surface over time.

Product Dimensions

The Vintara Design product page does not explicitly list dimensions for the 932 Quartet Leather Sectional Sofa replica. However, based on related listings of the original 932 Quartet Sofa by Mario Bellini for Cassina, the dimensions for a four-seat configuration (as implied by the “quartet” in the name) are estimated as follows:

• Width: Approximately 255 cm (100.4 inches), as noted for a four-seat modular configuration of the 932 Quartet [Web ID: 16].
• Depth: Approximately 90 cm (35.4 inches), consistent with the standard seat module depth of Bellini’s modular designs like the Camaleonda [Web ID: 5] [Web ID: 9].
• Height: Approximately 70 cm (27.6 inches), aligning with the low-profile design typical of Bellini’s 1960s furniture [Web ID: 10].
• Seat Height: Approximately 40 cm (15.8 inches), standard for mid-century modern sofas to ensure ergonomic comfort [Web ID: 10]. These dimensions reflect a spacious sectional sofa suitable for four people, with a modular design that allows for reconfiguration.
