'Cab' Loveseat in Original Leather by Mario Bellini for Cassina, Italy 1977
The 'Cab' loveseat by Mario Bellini, introduced in 1977 for Cassina, is a study in precision. High-quality saddle leather, cut and sewn with precision, is meticulously zippered and fastened to a steel frame like a tailored garment, giving the loveseat its sculptural form. Over time, the leather has acquired a rich patina, adding character to the piece. The Cab loveseat embodies Bellini’s philosophy of combining beauty with comfort in everyday objects.
Mario Bellini is an acclaimed Italian architect and designer known for his innovative approach to furniture design and his influence on modern interiors. Born in Milan in 1935, Bellini’s career spans architecture, industrial design, and urban planning. He has designed everything from buildings and museums to office equipment and furniture, consistently blurring the boundaries between art and functionality
Bellini’s collaboration with Cassina, one of Italy's premier furniture manufacturers, is particularly significant. Beginning in the 1960s, this partnership has produced some of the most iconic pieces in modern design, including the Cab series. First introduced in 1977, the Cab series exemplifies this collaboration, where Bellini reimagined the role of leather in furniture design by making it both a structural and aesthetic element. This partnership has continued for decades, cementing Bellini’s status as a pivotal figure in design and his creations as timeless classics in the Cassina catalog.
