This sale features a number of models from Bellini's CAB family of chairs. Designed in 1970s, CAB Chairs are now signature pieces in Cassina's Contemporanei collection. CAB was the first chair to feature a freestanding leather structure. Bellini was inspired by how human skin fits over the skeleton. The upholstery consists of sixteen pieces of die-cut saddle-grade leather, sewn together, stretched over the chair's steel 'skeleton,' and then held in place by zippers—Timeless style combined with the durability of leather which warms over time.
