An exceptional set of four Model 414 'Cab' lounge chairs designed by Mario Bellini for Cassina, Italy, originally introduced in 1977. These authentic examples retain their embossed Cassina markings and two chairs with original manufacturer labels beneath the seats. Note, we have four available at the time of this listing. Price is per chair. We have another listing which is priced for the set of all four chairs. Regarded as one of the most important seating designs of the late twentieth century, the Cab was revolutionary upon its introduction as the world's first chair constructed with a free-standing saddle leather skin fitted directly over a steel frame. Bellini famously described the concept as "a new kind of chair, constructed totally out of leather," comparing the tailored leather hide to the way human skin stretches naturally over a skeleton. Decades later, it remains one of Cassina's most recognizable and enduring designs.Unlike the more commonly encountered dining versions, the Model 414 lounge chair offers noticeably more generous proportions with a wider, deeper seat and the addition of a loose seat cushion, creating a relaxed lounge experience without sacrificing the crisp architectural silhouette that defines the Cab collection.Each chair is upholstered in thick saddle leather, individually cut, hand-finished, and fitted over the concealed steel structure using the same meticulous process that has distinguished Cassina production for generations. The leather on this set presents in a particularly attractive color that falls somewhere between deep cognac, burnt sienna, and burgundy, producing a warm richness that changes beautifully depending on the surrounding light. The result is considerably more nuanced and sophisticated than a traditional burgundy leather, lending the chairs an unmistakably Italian character.The elegant simplicity of Bellini's design allows these chairs to move effortlessly between Mid-Century Modern, Italian Modern, Contemporary, Minimalist, Postmodern, and Scandinavian Modern interiors while adding a refined note of contrast to Art Deco, Traditional, Transitional, or Classical settings. Their versatility makes them equally suited for residential dining rooms, breakfast areas, libraries, studies, executive offices, boutique hotels, luxury hospitality projects, private clubs, and gallery-like interiors.Highly collectible and increasingly sought after, the Mario Bellini Cab lounge chair remains one of the defining achievements of twentieth-century Italian furniture design. This matching set of four represents an opportunity to acquire an authentic group of Cassina examples that combine sculptural elegance, exceptional craftsmanship, and everyday comfort in one timeless design.MEASUREMENTS:H 30.5" x W 26.5" x D 25"Seat Height: 17"Seat Depth: 19.75"Arm Height: 23"CONDITION:Good vintage condition with light wear and attractive patina on the thick saddle leather.
