The Cab 413 Armchair offers distinctive design with its relationship between steel frame and leather skin. Its upholstery features 16 pieces of saddle leather, individually die-cut and subjected to 14 hand procedures. The leather skin attaches to the steel frame with zip fastening, while the construction creates a tailored garment effect. This free-standing cowhide chair provides both structural integrity and refined craftsmanship.
One of the world’s first free-standing cowhide design chairs, Mario Bellini's 'Cab 413' is informed by the relationship between the skeleton and the skin. As such, the signature piece from Cassina’s 'I Contemporanei' collection features upholstery comprised of 16 pieces of brown saddle leather, individually die-cut and then subjected to a further 14 procedures, all by hand. Once attached to the chair’s steel frame, the skin is secured with a zip fastening, akin to a bespoke tailored garment.
