Four Mario Bellini for Cassina Model CAB 413 Armchairs, Italy, designed 1977, late 20th century, welded steel frames, saddle leather, impressed maker's mark, ht. 32, wd. 23, dp. 20 1/2 in.
Note: Bellini is an internationally-renowned architect and designer. Twenty-five of his works are in the permanent design collection of MoMA. This sale features a number of models from Bellini’s CAB family of chairs. Designed in 1970s, CAB Chairs are now signature pieces in Cassina’s Contemporanei collection. CAB was the first chair to feature a freestanding leather structure. Bellini was inspired by how human skin fits over the skeleton. The upholstery consists of sixteen pieces of die-cut saddle-grade leather, sewn together, stretched over the chair’s steel “skeleton,” and then held in place by zippers—Timeless style combined with the durability of leather which warms over time.
