Mario Bellini 412 “CAB” dining chairs for Cassina, hazelnut leather, Italy, 1977, set of six.
High-quality chairs consist of handstitched natural leather upholstery wrapped over internal steel frame. The only additional reinforcement is provided by a rubber membrane plate that supports the seat.
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. “CAB” are the first-ever chair to feature a free-standing leather structure, inspired by how our skin fits over our skeleton.
We offer custom restoration and special reupholstering on request. Our atelier enhances Italy’s excellence by providing dedicated and tailor-made customization services. Contact us for additional information.
