Description

Mario Bellini "CAB" leather dining chairs for Cassina, 1977. Rarely seen in a set of six. Set "413" CAB chairs designed by Mario Bellini and manufactured by Cassina, 1977. Cognac leather. High-quality chairs consist of handstitched natural leather upholstery wrapped over an internal steel frame. The only additional reinforcement is provided by a rubber membrane plate that supports the seat. CAB is the first-ever chair to feature a free-standing leather structure, inspired by how our skin fits over our skeleton. Bellini's innovation lay in using zips to fasten the leather cover to its frame: a zip runs up the inside of each leg, sealing the cover in place.
