Mario Bellini for Cassina Cab 412 Leather Arm Chairs, a Pair. Original Price: $5,616

Design Plus Gallery presents a Pair of #412 Arm Chairs by Cassina. Designed by Mario Bellini in 1977. “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 I Contemporanei collection.‎ Cab was the first-ever chair to feature a free-standing leather structure, inspired by how our skin fits over our skeleton.‎ The upholstery consists of sixteen pieces of saddle leather.‎ Individually die-cut, they then undergo fourteen 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.‎ The upholstery is in a black leather. In good condition, visible and minimal wear from usage. Made in Italy.
