Mario Bellini model Cab 413 dining armchair in leather Cassina Italy 1977

An iconic Model CAB 413 dining armchair designed by Mario Bellini in 1977 and produced by Cassina in Italy. The chair features a slender steel frame completely covered with a fitted saddle leather skin, creating its characteristic continuous form. Visible stitching and fastening details emphasize the construction and craftsmanship of the design. The gently curved backrest flows into the armrests, while the shaped seat provides comfortable support. The warm cognac leather has developed a rich natural patina, giving each surface its own character. Bellini’s innovative use of leather as both a structural covering and defining visual element gives the CAB chair its distinctive appearance and has made it one of his most recognizable designs.
