Set of 6 Cassina CAB Dining Chairs in black Leather by Mario Bellini, Italy 1970s

Set of six CAB 413 dining chairs in black leather, designed by Mario Bellini for Cassina and produced in Italy in the 1970s.

CAB was the first chair to feature a freestanding leather structure, inspired by how our skin fits over our skeleton. The upholstery consists of sixteen pieces of saddle leather, individually cut by hand. The leather pieces are then 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.

These chairs come in their original black leather upholstery, which has obtained a beautiful overall light patina that enhances the character of each piece.

A benchmark of Italian modern design, the CAB chair remains highly relevant today. This iconic design which will add a beautiful and comfortable touch to any dining or meeting space.
