Cab 413 Armchair

Cab 413 Armchairs by Mario Bellini for Cassina, 1970s — Thick Saddle Leather Armchairs in Warm Oxblood Cognac Tone. Designed by Mario Bellini in 1977, the Cab 413 stands as one of the most iconic dining chairs of Italian modern design, instantly recognizable for its sculptural silhouette and architectural purity. Executed in a particularly desirable shade of saddle leather, this set presents a deep, warm oxblood cognac tone with rich tobacco and terracotta undertones. The leather displays a beautiful, natural patina that enhances the organic character of the chairs, with subtle tonal variations and a soft sheen that evolves with light and use. The Cab 413 is renowned for its innovative construction, where a steel frame is fully enveloped in thick saddle leather, functioning almost like a tailored skin — a chair that is both structurally robust and exceptionally comfortable. This matching set of four remains in excellent vintage condition. A true design icon, often regarded as one of the first chairs where leather is not merely upholstery but the primary structural element.
