Product description
Technical Materials: This set of four dining chairs is an iconic 1970s masterpiece by the legendary duo Afra & Tobia Scarpa. The technical construction features a robust solid wood frame supporting a dramatic steam-curved plywood backrest. The backrests and seats are expertly upholstered in thick Italian saddle leather (cuoio), following the ergonomic flow of the wood. The seamless integration of these natural materials showcases the Scarpas' commitment to architectural comfort and structural honesty.
Condition: These chairs have undergone a careful conservative restoration. We performed specific structural repairs to the wooden frames and addressed wear points on the leather seats to ensure they are stable, sturdy, and ready for daily use. They possess a stunning original patina that adds a depth of character rarely found on the market today.
Versatility: With their sculptural low-profile silhouette, these chairs are the ultimate versatile seating solution for high-end dining or executive spaces. Their organic warmth makes them a perfect fit for a Parisian mid-century apartment, a minimalist Amsterdam penthouse, or a sophisticated London townhouse. They are, without question, the only set available online that preserves such an authentic and evocative vintage soul.
Styling & Sourcing Scarpa Design 🔍 How to maintain vintage leather chairs? To preserve the "beautiful" patina, we recommend using neutral pH leather conditioners, a standard practice for collectors in Milan and NYC.
Why is Afra & Tobia Scarpa furniture a good investment? Their designs represent the peak of 1970s Italian luxury, consistently gaining value in major design hubs like Berlin, Paris, and Los Angeles.
