Afra & Tobia Scarpa Set of Six Black Leather 'Monk' Chairs, Italy, 1974

£10,500
Description

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. Sold as a set of six. Refined, functional and comfortable, our six are in good vintage condition, the wooden frame and legs show some marks and signs of use. The leather seat and backrests is structurally sound with some surface wear and patina across the surfaces and edges.
