Cassina Mario Bellini Cab 412 Cognac Leather Side Chairs, a Pair. Original Price: $3,800
SOLD!
Design Plus Gallery presents a Pair of Cab 412 Cognac Leather Side Chairs by Cassina. Designed by Mario Bellini. “This was a new kind of chair, constructed totally out of leather, much cloned since then.” Thus Mario Bellini describes Cab, a best-seller that he designed in the 1970s, which is now a signature piece in Cassina’s. Cab was the first-ever chair to feature a free-standing leather structure, inspired by how our skin fits over our skeleton. They undergo discrete procedures, again by hand. The pieces are sewn together only when their outer edges have been trimmed to ensure a perfect fit. Once assembled, the cover is attached to the chair’s steel skeleton and held in place by means of a zipper fastening, as in a bespoke tailored garment. Today this model adapts and expands to meet contemporary needs. Minor wear. Made in Italy.
