The Cab 413 chair by Cassina, designed by Mario Bellini, is an icon of Italian design with a steel structure covered by a self-supporting leather shell stitched and closed with a zipper like a tailored suit.
The Cab 413 chair by Cassina, designed by Mario Bellini in 1977, is a turning point in the history of modern design. It is indeed the first chair in the world made with a self-supporting leather structure, inspired by the relationship between skeleton and skin. The idea behind the project is to cover a metal core with a natural and durable material, transforming leather into a structural and not just decorative element. This innovative approach has made the Cab an icon of the I Contemporanei collection by Cassina and a symbol of balance between engineering and craftsmanship. Thanks to its compact silhouette and its understated aesthetics, the Cab 413 chair fits perfectly into domestic and contract contexts, from dining areas to executive spaces, large hotel halls, and offices. The combination of essential design, high-quality materials, and craftsmanship confirms the Cab as one of the most emblematic seats of Made in Italy.
The production process of the Cab 413 chair is complex and entirely manual. The various leather parts, precisely cut and thinned through a process called "scarnitura," are sewn together and then fitted onto the black painted tubular steel structure, like a tailored suit. The covering is secured with a zipper at the back, highlighting its sartorial and functional character. The flexible cold-foamed polyurethane padding ensures comfort and durability, while the internal shell made of plastic material contributes to the stability of the seat.
The Cab 413 chair is available in two sizes:
Standard chair: cm.62x52x82h
Maxi chair: cm.66x57x82h
The Cab collection has been enriched with the Cab XL, wider and deeper, designed to meet contemporary needs, and the Plus leather models, in pure aniline with artisanal finishes.
