Complete set of six (two captain chairs model 413 and four side model 412) vintage "CAB" chairs designed by Mario Bellini for Cassina (ca. 1978, Italy).
Bellini was known for constructing seating with sturdy, solid 'bones' and then tautly wrapping luxurious upholstery around these frames to enhance their sculptural shapes. The "CAB" chairs are no exception to this signature design style.
Composed of leather fitted to an enameled steel frame and plastic seat. More specifically, the painstaking process consists of individually die-cutting saddle leather and, fourteen indeterminate steps later (all hand-procedural), the pieces are sewn together, their edges trimmed to achieve that taut, bespoke fit. Thoughtful, ingenious design marrying form and function.
These examples (a full set of six) are the desirable late 1970s oxblood leather versions. The supple saddle leather aided by its relation to the seat responds to movement, offering just enough give to maintain comfort. Very good, vintage condition, and structurally sound -- the leather has been cleaned, conditioned, and buffed, and the plastic seat supports are all intact. Rich patina and leather scuffs remain on seats and arms, as shown.
Raised "Cassina" manufacturer branding present to all six chairs.
