A set of eight Italian design icons in black saddle leather, the CAB 412/413 chair by Mario Bellini for Cassina is up for sale. It consist of a perfect set of 2 captain chairs with arm-rests and 6 standard chairs; perfect for a mid-size rectangular table. When first produced in 1977, the CAB was the first chair to feature a free-standing leather structure, inspired by how human skin fits over our skeleton. The leather upholstery is constructed from sixteen pieces of saddle leather, which are individually die-cut and sewn together. The leather is then zippered over the tubular steel frame and the polyurethane foam padded seat. The chair is part of the permanent collection at the New York MoMA.
