Model 412 "CAB" dining chair designed by Mario Bellini for Cassina and produced in Italy in 1977.Introduced in 1977, the CAB collection was the first chair in the world to feature a self-supporting saddle leather cover, inspired by the construction of fine leather craftsmanship. The leather is hand-cut and stitched before being fitted over a steel frame like a tailored garment, creating a design that is both technically innovative and visually timeless.The CAB collection is one of Mario Bellini's most celebrated designs for Cassina, combining architectural simplicity with exceptional comfort and meticulous craftsmanship. Its sculptural silhouette and honest use of materials have made it a lasting icon of Italian design, equally suited to residential dining rooms, executive spaces, and contemporary interiors.This chair is presented in excellent vintage condition, with beautifully aged original black saddle leather developing a rich natural patina through decades of careful use. The leather remains supple and well preserved, while the steel frame has been inspected by our workshop to ensure proper stability and everyday functionality.The chair has been individually inspected to ensure the highest standards of quality and structural integrity. Upon request, restoration, leather treatment, or customization services can be discussed to suit specific interior or project requirements.Multiple chairs are available, allowing the creation of custom sets in various sizes upon request.
