Cab Night Bed
Made by Cassina
Designed by Mario Bellini
Mario Bellini introduced the Cab chair for Cassina in 1977, and its defining gesture became one of the most recognized acts in postwar Italian design: full-grain saddle leather stretched taut over a steel skeleton, then zipped into place along a single, deliberate seam. The Cab Night Bed carries that vocabulary into the bedroom without revision or compromise.
The structural frame disappears entirely beneath a continuous leather skin held in tension, so the form reads as both sculptural and spare. No applied ornament interrupts the surface. What remains is the integrity of the material, the precision of the stitch, and the quiet authority of a silhouette that has been refined over decades.

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.
