Set of six Mario Bellini Mod. Cab 412 Chairs Cassina, Italy, 1977
- Description
-
Italian architect Mario Bellini (b. 1935) has an instinct for designing pieces with an outsized presence, such as the Camaleonda sofa (1971) and Il Colonnato table (1977). His architecture and design work have won him countless career accolades, and fruitful working relationships with renowned Italian manufacturers Cassina and B&B Italia.
‘A new kind of chair, made entirely of cowhide, often cloned today’ is Bellini’s take on his 1977 Cab 412 chair. A stitched leather cover is hand-stretched over a minimal tubular frame and fastened with zippers, allowing for a hand-in-glove fit inspired by the relationship between the skeleton and the skin. While the design is still in production, this set of six vintage chairs in excellent condition are a sought-after rarity.
Very good vintage condition, minor surface wear and losses to leather dye at edges. Cassina stamped underside. Leather has had some restoration.
