Afra & Tobia Scarpa Monk chair

Formidable husband and wife team Tobia and Afra Bianchin Scarpa created inte­ri­ors and furni­ture that embraced the mate­ri­als of each design and the interplay of tech­nol­ogy and aesthet­ics. They met studying architecture at the Univer­sity luav di Venezia, grad­u­at­ing in 1957.

The Monk chair is one of many distinctive and highly regarded designs from the pair. Its humble form is comprised of two key materials, solid walnut legs with a black leather seat and backrest. Refined, functional and comfortable.

Not the one pictured. The leather seat and backrest is structurally sound. Surface wear and patina across the surfaces and edges. Leather shows heavy signs of age.
