Cab 413 armchair - Mario Bellini - Cassina

Cab 413 Armchairs by Mario Bellini for Cassina, 1979 – Matching Early Edition Set in Rich Burgundy Leather
Iconic Free-Standing Saddle Leather Armchairs with Sculptural Elegance

Designed by Mario Bellini in 1979 for Cassina, the Cab 413 armchair remains one of the most defining expressions of Italian modernism — a perfect fusion of structure, material, and human form.
This matching early-edition set, preserved in remarkable original condition, showcases the distinctive qualities that separate first-generation examples from later reissues: a softer, more organic drape of hide over the steel skeleton, creating a subtle play of tension and volume.

The color is a deep oxblood burgundy with earthy undertones that shift between burnt sienna, tobacco, and dark terracotta, depending on the light. Over the decades, the natural vegetable-tanned leather has developed a warm satin patina, giving these pieces a uniquely tactile and soulful presence.

Entirely clad in thick, saddle-stitched cowhide, each chair is zipped around its internal frame — Bellini’s brilliant metaphor of skin over skeleton. The hand-finished stitching and gentle creasing around the seat and arms speak to the authentic craftsmanship of Cassina’s early production era.

Beautifully suited for brutalist, bohemian, or Japandi interiors, these chairs exude sculptural clarity and quiet confidence. Whether used as dining chairs or statement pieces, they bring warmth, refinement, and iconic Italian design heritage to any space.
