A striking set of 4 Monk dining chairs by Afra & Tobia Scarpa for Molteni, one of the most recognizable expressions of Italian modernist seating. The design is defined by its strong architectural wooden frame and thick black leather sling seat and back, creating a bold, reduced silhouette that feels both sculptural and highly functional.
The contrast between the solid geometric structure and the softened leather gives the chairs their distinctive character. Visually restrained yet powerful, the Monk chair works especially well in interiors that favour clean lines, natural materials, and collectible design. The set is equally suited to a dining setting, office, studio, or more curated commercial project.
Condition Report
Great vintage condition with normal age-related wear. The black leather shows an attractive patina and light signs of use consistent with age. The wooden frames also show minor surface wear and patina in line with vintage condition. Overall, the set presents very well.
