Afra & Tobia Scarpa, 6 monk dining chairs and table, beech and black leather, Italy, 1973.
Interesting is the 'flat' shape of this chair where the designer has chosen to place the legs cross-angled.
This decision gives the chair the appearance of being lightweight, whilst in fact they are very well-constructed and heavy.
All in all a very interesting and high-quality chair. Simplified and solid design by Italian award winning designers couple Afra & Tobia Scarpa.
Afra (1937-2011) & Tobia (1935-) Scarpa both studied on the Venice Institute of Architecture. Tobia first worked for the Italian glass manufacturer Venini. From 1960 on the couple opened their own design office. Their work includes architecture and everyday items like furniture and clothing. Tobia & Afra designed for numerous major Italian and international companies like Flos, Gavina, B&B Italia, Cassina, Knoll International and many interior projects for numerous companies worldwide.
Excellent vintage condition. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
designer records,
or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising
