Pair Afra & Tobia Scarpa Monk tan chairs

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 and simplistic form is comprised of two key materials, thick solid walnut legs with a tan leather seat and backrest. Refined, functional and comfortable, our pair is in good original condition, the wooden frames and legs show subtle marks and signs of use. The leather seats and backrests are structurally sound, showing lots of marks and patina, with some minor sagging to the seats.
