The Cassina Cab 412 chair, designed by Mario Bellini, is the world's first self-supporting leather designer chair, inspired by the direct relationship between skeleton and skin. A masterpiece of manufacturing excellence, the result of a complex and meticulous craftsmanship process that has transformed a revolutionary idea into a cult object with a sartorial character. Created during the golden age of Italian design, Cab is now an icon of the Contemporanei collection and one of Cassina's most recognisable best-sellers.
The heart of the project is the leather upholstery, composed of 21 individually die-cut parts that undergo 22 manual processes. Each element is trimmed to reduce its thickness, sewn with precision and then fitted onto the steel structure, closed with zips that enhance its sartorial character and craftsmanship.
The colour range offers a wide variety of shades, including pigmented leather versions in black, brown and Bulgarian red, designed to fit elegantly into residential and contract settings.
The Cab family expands with the Cab 413 model, equipped with armrests, and with the baby version, designed for children and made with the same craftsmanship that distinguishes the entire collection.
With its essential yet innovative shape, the Cassina Cab chair stylishly complements dining tables and reception areas, offering a refined, functional seat with a strong visual impact. A design icon that, in every detail, reflects Bellini's pioneering vision and Cassina's manufacturing excellence.
