Cab 410 Barstool High Back
Mario Bellini conceived the Cab series in 1977 around a single question: what if the upholstery were the structure? The answer arrived in a form that has never required revision. A welded steel armature disappears beneath a single continuous piece of saddle leather, drawn taut and zipped closed at the base. No exposed joints. No applied surface. The leather is not a covering; it is the object.
The Cab 410 High Back Barstool extends that logic into counter and bar heights, where the taller proportion adds both postural support and quiet authority. The silhouette reads as architectural - resolved, self-sufficient, at ease beside almost any surface or spatial language.
- Welded steel internal frame
- Single-piece saddle leather cover with concealed zip closure at the base
- High back proportion for posture and presence
- Part of Cassina's permanent I Maestri collection
Bellini's approach anticipated years of design discourse around craft, skin, and form. The Cab remains one of the clearest instances of a designer solving a material problem with such precision that the solution becomes the aesthetic.
