Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Cab collection's leather construction unique?

The Cab collection is defined by its saddle leather skin, which is stretched over a welded steel frame and secured with a visible zipper - a structural and aesthetic device that became Bellini's signature. The leather is not applied as upholstery in a conventional sense; it is the form itself.

What leather options are available for the Cab Night Bed?

The Cab Night Bed is offered in Cassina's range of full-grain leather finishes, which vary across warm and cool tonal families. As a made-to-order piece, specific finish availability should be confirmed at the time of inquiry.

How does leather on the Cab Night Bed age over time?

Full-grain saddle leather develops a natural patina with use - deepening in tone and acquiring subtle character at points of contact. This evolution is considered an inherent quality of the material, not a flaw, and is consistent with Bellini's intention for the piece.

Who is Mario Bellini and what is his relationship with Cassina?

Mario Bellini is a Milan-born architect and designer whose collaboration with Cassina spans decades and produced several icons of Italian modernism. His work is characterized by a rigorous attention to material logic and form, and the Cab family - first introduced in 1977 - remains among his most celebrated contributions.

Is the Cab Night Bed available in different sizes?

Yes, the Cab Night Bed is available in multiple size configurations to accommodate different room proportions and bed format preferences. Lead times apply as the piece is produced to order in Italy.
