Set of Monk Chairs by Afra and Tobia Scarpa for Molteni, 1973
About the Item
The focal point of the designer duo Afra and Tobia Scarpa's work has always been the manipulation of shapes and forms. They believe that simplicity is not a weakness, as they have demonstrated through their use of simple forms and raw materials to achieve a sense of elegance. The Monk chairs, created in 1973 for Molteni, are a standout example of this philosophy in an era dominated by plastics. Crafted from solid Italian walnut and complemented by luxurious leather, these chairs are synonymous with a refined and sophisticated style.
