“Un nuovo genere di sedia, tutta in cuoio, oggi molto clo-
nata”. Così Mario Bellini descrive la sedia-poltroncina Cab, best-
seller ideato negli anni ‘70 e oggi pezzo iconico della collezione
Cassina. Cab è la prima sedia al mondo caratterizzata da una
struttura in cuoio autoportanteispirata al rapporto tra scheletro e
pelle. Il suo rivestimento è formatoda 16 parti in cuoio sottoposte a
14 lavorazioni manuali. Le singole parti tagliate vengono infatti cu-
cite insieme solo dopo aver subito un procedimento di scarnitura
volto ad assottigliare lo spessore delle porzioni da accoppiare. Il
rivestimento viene poi calzato su uno scheletro d'acciaio e chiuso
con cerniere lampo come un abito sartoriale. Oggi questo modello
si adatta e si espande per rispondere alle esigenze contempo-
ranee. È infatti disponibile un modello XL, più profondo di 5cm, e
un modello Baby, realizzato con la stessa accurata capacità arti-
gianale. Sono inoltre disponibili nuovi cuoi Plus in pura anilina, e
alcune versioni con un eff etto sfumato a mano su base naturale.

“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.
Today this model adapts and expands to meet contemporary needs. It
is now available an XL model, 5cm deeper, and a Baby version, made
with the same careful craftsmanship. Also available are new Plus saddle
leathers in pure aniline, and some versions with a gradient effect by hand
on a natural basis.
