Afra Tobia Scarpa Seating

Italian

Widely recognized as superstars of postmodern Italian design, husband-and-wife team Afra and Tobia Scarpa (1937–2011; b. 1935) collaboratively created chairs, sofas and other furniture that work equally well in both traditional and cutting-edge environments.

Ranging from architecture and interior design to furniture and clothing, the Scarpas’ practice from its beginnings in the mid-1950s to the 21st century has included a diverse scope of projects combining new technology with thoughtful function and sculptural yet simple forms.

Afra Bianchin and Tobia Scarpa met as architecture students at the Università Iuav di Venezia. In a class led by architect and furniture designer Franco Albini, they created their first collaborative piece, the Pigreco armchair, later produced with Gavina. After graduating in 1957, Tobia worked for Murano glass company Venini Co. before the couple opened a studio in Afra’s hometown, Montebelluna, in 1960. (Tobia, the son of famed glass artist and architect Carlo Scarpa, was born in Venice.)

For Afra and Tobia, a close collaborative process was pivotal to the success of their designs. The duo was also prolific — they designed for the most influential European manufacturers, including B&B Italia, Cassina, Knoll and FLOS. With respect to the latter, Afra and Tobia were among the legendary Italian lighting maker’s earliest collaborators, and their pioneering designs for the brand included the Papillon lamp, one of the first fixtures to use halogen technology. Their most recognized designs include the Bastiano sofa (1962), the Vanessa bed (1959), the Coronado sofa (1966) and the Soriana seating collection (1970). Work on the Soriana sofa began in late 1969 for an early 1970 debut, and it feels as radical today as it did in its heyday.

Architecture was also a central part of Afra and Tobia’s practice, which spanned residential buildings and factories for Italian companies such as Benetton. Their commissions for the global fashion brand included numerous industrial projects, from textile plants to storefronts. By 1985, Afra and Tobia Scarpa’s work was celebrated in a 30-year retrospective at Center Four in Queens, New York. Looking around the 30,000-square-foot exhibition space, Afra joked to the New York Times, “Seeing all those things makes us feel very tired, and now we feel that maybe we worked too much.”

It was not too much for their legacy, as Afra and Tobia Scarpa’s work continues to inspire new generations. Scarpa designs are in collections at the Louvre, the Museum of Modern Art and the Victoria and Albert Museum. The couple was awarded the Compasso d’Oro in 1970 for the Soriana armchair.

Afra Tobia Scarpa ‘Monk’ Chairs in Patinated Leather Walnut Frame, 1974
By Afra Tobia Scarpa, Molteni C
Located in Almelo, NL
Beautiful set of six Monk chairs by Afra Tobia Scarpa for Molteni, featuring patinated cognac leather and walnut wood frames with fantastic patina. Designed in 1974 by the renowned Italian duo Afra Tobia Scarpa for Molteni, the Monk chair is one of the most iconic seating designs of the period. This complete set of six early examples demonstrates the Scarpas’ architectural approach to form, material and structure. Each chair features a thick saddle-leather seat and back that wraps over the frame and is secured with exposed metal hardware—one of the defining aesthetic signatures of the Monk series. The original cognac leather shows a beautiful, authentic patina, with natural colour variations and characterful ageing that only decades of careful use can produce. The frames are made from solid walnut wood, displaying a fantastic patina and rich grain that pairs perfectly with the warm tones of the leather. The walnut construction gives the chairs their monolithic, grounded presence while maintaining the refined minimalism typical of Scarpa’s work. Both sculptural and functional, these chairs suit a wide range of interiors—from contemporary architectural spaces to classic vintage settings. A matching set of six Monk chairs in original leather with walnut frames has become increasingly rare on the market. Highly collectible and sought after by enthusiasts of Italian 20th-century design, they offer an excellent opportunity for private interiors, hospitality projects or gallery-level collections. All chairs are structurally sound, professionally checked, and ready for immediate use. DIMENSIONS Width: 52 cm (20.5 in) Depth: 48 cm (18.9 in) Height: 75 cm (29.5 in) Seat Height: 45 cm (17.7 in) Quantity: Set of 6 CONDITION Original cognac leather with warm, characterful patina consistent with age and use.
