Set of Six Black Leather Cab Dining Chairs by Mario Bellini for Cassina

A set of six ‘Cab’ 412 dining chairs designed by Mario Bellini for Cassina, first introduced in 1977. The design is notable for its innovative construction, in which a saddle-stitched leather hide is fitted over a steel frame, creating a seamless, tailored appearance.

Each chair is upholstered in black leather, with the material forming both the seat and structure, wrapping cleanly around the frame and fastening beneath. The silhouette is compact and slightly curved, offering a comfortable seating position while maintaining a refined, minimal profile. Subtle stitching along the edges highlights the craftsmanship and construction method.

A landmark of late 20th-century Italian design, the ‘Cab’ chair reflects Bellini’s interest in combining traditional leatherworking techniques with modern industrial production, resulting in a piece that is both practical and quietly distinctive.
