Rare opportunity to purchase four original Mario Bellini "Bull" 422 chairs for Cassina. Finished in a premium matt ivory leather, this set represents a unique opportunity for collectors and interior designers to acquire a large, matching set of an Italian design classic.
Heritage:
Designed by the Mario Bellini as a contemporary reinterpretation of the iconic Cab chair, the Bull 422 is no longer in production at Cassina, making it a highly coveted piece. While the Cab chair is celebrated for its sturdy, structural look, the Bull chair offers a sleeker, lighter, and more architectural profile.
A defining feature of this model is its curvaceous backrest and slimmer feet, which provide a more elegant and fluid aesthetic compared to the Cassina Cab chair. Unlike many high-end leather chairs, the Bull 422 is designed to be stackable.

Design Story
Founded in 1927 in Meda by brothers Cesare and Umberto Cassina, the company originally produced handcrafted wooden furniture before evolving into a pioneer of industrial design in postwar Italy. As modern architecture began reshaping Europe, Cassina became one of the first companies to bridge artisanal tradition with large scale modern production.
The company gained international recognition through collaborations with legendary architects and designers including Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand. Their furniture designs, particularly the LC4 Chaise Longue and the LC2 Chair, became defining symbols of modernist interiors.
Unlike many furniture brands focused purely on decoration, Cassina approached furniture as part of a broader architectural vision. Its pieces emphasized proportion, innovation, and material quality while maintaining the elegance and refinement associated with Italian craftsmanship.
Over the decades, Cassina also became known for preserving design history through its meticulous production of modernist classics alongside collaborations with contemporary designers. This balance between heritage and innovation helped establish the company as a cornerstone of global design culture.
Today, Cassina furniture is found in luxury homes, galleries, and architect designed interiors around the world. Its legacy reflects the enduring influence of Italian modernism: sophisticated, intellectual, and timeless.
