Bellini Modern Living is expanding its Massimo small-space dining concept at the Spring High Point Market with new stocked products and table designs, marking a shift from its previous container-only offering. The move brings the collection—which features expandable, Made-in-Italy tables—into Bellini’s warehouse inventory, making it more accessible to a wider range of retailers and designers.

Initially launched as a special project for volume retailers, the Massimo collection has generated interest across dealer types, including independent retailers and interior designers. Known for its compact footprint and transformable function, Massimo was designed with younger, design-conscious consumers in mind.

“Retailers are looking to make the doors of brick-and-mortar stores swing with shoppers that they may not otherwise be attracting—younger, design-savvy consumers who aspire to Made-in-Italy products, but who are also seeking mass market prices,” said Keon Azimi, marketing and merchandising director, Bellini Modern Living.

The Massimo collection features five expandable dining tables and a range of occasional tables with Italian-made laminate tops, finished edges, and solid wood construction for stability. Available finishes include oak, concrete, and other wood-look laminates.

New at High Point Market

Among the new introductions is Cora, a 36-inch-wide, 18-inch-deep console table that extends to a 10-foot dining table. The design includes removable leaves stored in a hidden trolley beneath the table, allowing users to adjust the size incrementally as needed.

Bellini will also debut two new Made-in-Italy, stackable upholstered dining chairs, the Sabrina and Romina, designed for functionality and comfort. Both models are crafted from solid wood and upholstered in Echo leather—a washable, durable material. The chairs are available in three upholstery colors (light gray, dark gray, and anthracite) and three frame finishes (walnut, black, and natural oak). Like the new Massimo tables, these chairs are now stocked in Bellini’s warehouse and ready for immediate order fulfillment.

“Cora and other Massimo collection tables and our new stackable dining chairs are ideal for consumers who only occasionally require a larger table for entertaining purposes,” said Hossein Azimi, chief executive officer of Bellini Modern Living. “With so many consumers delaying home buying, renting and/or downsizing in the current housing market, retailers and interior designers require more smart, small space solutions than ever before to satisfy their needs. We’re making it easy, both with the aggressively priced Massimo collection, as well as our growing collection of luxe, artfully designed Made in Italy ceramic-topped tables for which Bellini Modern has long been known.”

Bellini Modern Living is exhibiting at IHFC-H-520 during High Point Market, April 25–30.
