Creator: Mario Bellini - Cassina
Offered by: Hobbs Modern

Description
Iconic Set of Six 413 Cab Chair by Mario Bellini for Cassina.The upholstery is made up of 22 parts in cowhide, die-cut and hand-processed one-by-one and then sewn into a single piece which is then fitted to a steel skeleton and closed with a zipper, like a custom-tailored garment.

"This was a new kind of chair, constructed totally out of leather, much cloned since then.” Thus Mario Bellini describes Cab, a best-seller that he designed in the 1970s, which is now a signature piece in Cassina's I Contemporanei collection Cab was the first-ever chair to feature a free-standing leather structure, inspired by how our skin fits over our skeleton.

The upholstery consists of 22 individual pieces of saddle leather. Individually die-cut, they then undergo fourteen discrete procedures, again by hand 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.

The chairs can easily be used for dining or as accent chairs in any living room or study. The bottom of the chairs are marked - Cassina
