Mario Bellini for Vitra “Persona” Office Chair

The Persona chair is one of Bellini’s most distinctive office designs from the late 20th century, combining ergonomic comfort with a strong sculptural presence. This example features a black leather upholstered seat and backrest with integrated armrests, mounted on a height-adjustable swivel base with five casters and chrome details.

The design is typical of Bellini’s approach: generous, almost architectural forms paired with functional innovation. The chair offers a comfortable sitting position and remains visually striking, making it suitable both for use at a desk and as a statement piece in a modern or mid-century inspired interior.
