Being a collector of modern furniture is not always as expensive or laborsome as you might think. The Bellini line of chic designed furniture was one of the first to be an offered product by Heller Inc. in 1998. Recognizing that furniture consumers respected good art, good design, industrial production and reasonable prices, this company made it their business to find the best designers to work closely with to achieve this goal. Today, Heller is a leader in designer furniture, adding famous names to their line regularly.
World Famous Designers have graced the Heller family since its inception to create a different type of style to the discerning public. Lella & Massimo Vignelli, risk taker Frank Gehry and Studio 65 are just a few of the world class artists and architect designers that proudly present museum quality pieces for the home or office. Heller continues to stay a step above the rest with providing the modern collector with dozens of choices.
The Award Winning Museum Quality Designs by Heller are affirmed by museums that feature their collections. The Pinakothek in Munich, the Cleveland Museum of Art the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Smithsonian are among several institutions exhibiting the stunning selections by the Heller team. Awards include Good Design Award, The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and I.D. Design and Annual Design Distinction for Furniture and Compasso d’Oro, Italy.
Thirty-five years ago, Heller presented a line of stacking dinnerware designed by Massimo Vignelli, hoping that the Investment Quality Designs of designers would be something that the public could appreciate. Beyond their wildest dreams, this line was very well accepted and as a result, the furniture line was started with the same concept in mind. The stacking dinnerware is still popular today and can be found in the permanent design collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Form and Function is an added option of Heller with durable products that are designed for both indoors and out. Many pieces are modular, stackable and are valuable as space savers. The artistic presence of these pieces can be used anywhere, serving multiple purposes in the workplace or high traffic areas where solid, lasting form is necessary while presenting a modern day flair.
Lifestyle dominates the must for gregarious yet practical furnishings for a fun and witty setting that is possible by creative designs. From the break neck curves of a Gehry designed cube to the giant red lips on a Bocca seat from Studio 65, these designs simply make you feel good. Museum approved quality, world famous designers and functional features spell investment that can be yours with modern furniture, lasting for years to come.
