Amanta Set of 3 Armchairs by B&B/ C&B Italia, 1970s
They say 3 is the magic number, and we’re inclined to agree when it comes to this set of ‘70s Amanta armchairs by B&B / C&B Italia. Swathed in the timeless florals of House of Hackney’s PERSEPHONE print jacquard, each has its own personality, in ‘Noir’, ‘Verdigris’ and ‘Tourmaline’.
With her unfurling wildflowers, PERSEPHONE – goddess of Spring and queen of the underworld – represents the duality of Nature and the cycle of life. Hope springs eternal with this enchanting print.
