The Cab 413 is an icon of Italian design, originally presented in 1977. The 413 is the progenitor of the family of seats, where Bellini leads us through CAB to a reflection on the deep meanings and semantic values of furniture objects. Ideally conceived as an extension and prosthesis of the body, it features a tubular steel skeleton and a taut leather skin. It is a perfect chair for around an important table, whether in the living room at home, in a conference room at the office, or in a restaurant with a refined and luxurious style.

Here are some key details about the chair, which is part of Cassina's "I Contemporanei" collection:

Design and Construction

Concept: Bellini designed the chair as an innovation where the leather serves as a second skin for the internal structure, drawing inspiration from the relationship between the human skeleton and skin.

Structure: It features a minimalist internal skeleton made of a black painted tubular steel frame.

Upholstery: The upholstery is made of 22 pieces of leather cut and hand-stitched with precision, which are "fitted" onto the frame.

Closure: The leather upholstery closes with zippers running along the inside of the legs, mimicking the sartorial precision of a fine suit.

Model: The Cab 413 model specifically refers to the armchair, as seen in the photo. The chairs in the photo showcase a variety of classic and popular colors available, including: Orange Red and Amaranth Red, Gray, Blue (two armchairs), and Brown, enhancing this set and making it unique in its kind.

The leather develops a unique patina over time, highly appreciated and adding character to the chair. This piece has an attribution mark,
