Mario Bellini for Cassina Model CAB 415 Lounge Chair, Italy, c. 2000, welded steel frames, rust-colored saddle leather, impressed "Cassina" mark, ht. 32, wd. 36 1/2, dp. 30 in. Note: Bellini is an internationally-renowned architect and designer. Twenty-five of his works are in the permanent design collection of MoMA. 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. Estimate $1,000-1,500 Good to very good condition. No deep scratches to leather. Seat cushion would benefit from a new insert. Items may have wear and tear, imperfections, or the effects of aging.
