Bellini stretched a tailored, hand-stitched saddle leather \"skin\" over a slim steel frame, zipping it tightly around the legs like a fitted jacket. By turning leather into a load-bearing material rather than just a cushion cover, he created a design so unique it earned a spot in MoMA's permanent collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo sell the chair in North America during the late 1970s and '80s, Cassina partnered with New York importer Atelier International (AI). Chairs from this brief era are dual-branded, marked with both the Cassina stamp and the ai distributor label. Collectors hunt down these specific vintage models today because of their limited production window and the beautiful, rich patina the early saddle leather has developed over decades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Social Objects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49940268974323,"sku":"49940268974323","price":4495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/5275\/7491\/files\/Cassina-Cab-413-black-pair-overview-front.png?v=1784438488","url":"https:\/\/socialobjects.us\/products\/a-pair-of-mario-bellini-for-cassina-cab-chairs-model-413-black-leather-1980s","provider":"Social Objects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
