A set of six "Monk" chairs designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa for Molteni in the 1970s, these are true icons of Italian design. The chairs feature a solid walnut frame and a seat and backrest in fine natural buffalo leather, completely restored with the highest-quality materials. The Italian-made leather was completely replaced and tanned naturally to preserve its authentic texture and the subtle variations in tone that make each piece unique.
The walnut frame was meticulously re-lacquered to remove scratches and signs of aging, while maintaining the wood's original warm hue. The result is a set of chairs that perfectly blends aesthetics, comfort, and craftsmanship, embodying the design philosophy of Afra and Tobia Scarpa: essential forms, natural materials, and architectural proportions.
The "Monk" chairs represent one of the most refined collaborations between the Scarpa brothers and Molteni, a perfect balance between rigorous construction and soft materials. Ideal for a contemporary dining setting or a collection of vintage Italian design.
Excellent condition, fully restored and ready to use.
