“This was a new kind of chair, constructed totally out of leather, much cloned since then.‎” Thus Mario Bellini describes Cab, a best-seller that he designed in the 1970s, which is now a signature piece in Cassina’s I Contemporanei collection.‎ Cab was the first-ever chair to feature a free-standing leather structure, inspired by how our skin fits over our skeleton.‎ The upholstery consists of sixteen pieces of saddle leather.‎ They undergo fourteen discrete procedures, again by hand.‎ The pieces are sewn together only when their outer edges have been trimmed to ensure a perfect fit.‎ Once assembled, the cover is attached to the chair’s steel skeleton and held in place by means of a zipper fastening, as in a bespoke tailored garment.‎
