## About Mario Bellini

Mario Bellini is identified in the available biographical source as an Italian architect and designer whose practice spans architecture, exhibitions, products, and furniture. After graduating from the Polytechnic University of Milan in 1959, he worked during Italy's late twentieth-century economic expansion and developed relationships with manufacturers in several design sectors. Documented collaborators include B&B Italia, Brionvega, Cassina, Olivetti, Rosenthal, Tecno, Vitra, Kartell, and Yamaha. Collectors may therefore encounter Bellini's name in connection with furniture and other designed objects produced by established manufacturers, as well as material relating to his wider architectural and exhibition practice. The collected sources do not establish a named artistic movement or reliable birth details for this designer. Because authority records retrieved under the same name identify a different Italian lawyer and writer, accurate appraisal requires object-level confirmation of the designer, manufacturer, model, production date, and attribution.

## Common works and media

The source pack most clearly supports furniture and product design as Bellini-related work types, alongside exhibition design and architecture. Appraisily's auction index also assigns records to decorative art and editions, paintings, works on paper, prints, sculpture, and mixed media, but those broad classifications have low identity-specific confidence. For appraisal purposes, each object should be checked for its manufacturer, model, materials, production period, marks, labels, edition details, and documented relationship to the designer.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's current index contains a substantial body of matched public auction records under Mario Bellini's name, but its category labels are broad and should not be treated as proof that every result belongs to the architect and designer. A useful appraisal begins by confirming the object's model, manufacturer, materials, dimensions, production date, markings, and attribution. Condition, restoration, provenance, exhibition or catalogue history, and edition information may also affect comparability. Public results should be compared with closely related objects rather than with the artist-wide median alone. Reported totals may include premiums or fees on different bases, while private transactions, incomplete feeds, and revised attributions may be absent.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine researched artist identity information with matched auction records and, when available, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. Public records are evidence inputs rather than authentication or a final appraisal conclusion.
