Cab 412 Chair Set by Mario Bellini for Cassina

Description

The Cassina Cab 412, designed in 1977 by Italian architect and designer Mario Bellini, is a landmark in modern furniture design. With its revolutionary concept of “dressing” a chair like a tailored garment, Bellini combined craftsmanship, material integrity, and sculptural elegance in a way that remains striking today. This set of four chairs features a tubular steel frame entirely clad in natural brown saddle leather. Each cover is precisely cut and sewn, then pulled over the frame and secured with zippers, a pioneering technique at the time, and one that has since become iconic.

Minimal in construction yet rich in presence, the Cab 412 embodies both architectural rigor and organic fluidity. Over the years, the natural leather develops a distinctive patina, giving each chair a unique and timeless character. Renowned for their durability and comfort, these four Cab 412 chairs are more than functional seating, they are collectible design icons and a testament to the radical creativity of late 1970s Italian design. Today, the model is represented in major museums and international design collections.
