Mario bellini cab stool 410 for cassina designed by mario bellini. Cab stool is the world’s first example of a free-standing cowhide design stool informed by the relationship between the skeleton and the skin; an authentic example of production excellence, a tailored-to-fit iconic object. Only after a lengthy thinning process, the cut parts are stitched together, while the upholstery is hand-fitted to the steel skeleton and closed with a zipper, like a real custom-tailored garment. Height available in 2 heights. Structure self-supporting saddle-hide upholstery closed with zipper. “this was a new kind of chair, constructed totally out of leather, much cloned since then.” thus mario bellini describes cab, a best-seller that he designed in the 1970s, which is now a signature piece in cassina’s i contemporanei collection. Cab was the first-ever chair to feature a free-standing leather structure, inspired by how our skin fits over our skeleton. The upholstery consists of sixteen pieces of saddle leather. Individually die-cut, they then undergo fourteen discrete procedures, again by hand. The pieces are sewn together only when their outer edges have been trimmed to ensure a perfect fit. Once assembled, the cover is attached to the chair’s steel skeleton and held in place by means of a zipper fastening, as in a bespoke tailored garment. The wide array of colours for the saddle leather cushion is now complemented by pigmented saddle leather in black, brown and russian red. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution less
