Afra & Tobia Scarpa "121" Dining Chairs for Cassina, 1965, Set of 10

About the Item

Afra & Tobia Scarpa "121" dining chairs for Cassina, black lacquered, Italy, 1965, set of ten. The model "121" manufactured Cassina shows Scarpa's typical double trestle structure with the characteristic rounded joint. The straightforward design is like a cubical volume; the supports, on the other hand, are slender, anatomically shaped surfaces. The seat and back are shaped in plywood and attached by bolts to crosspieces along the center. The back has a cut in the lower part, required due to the presence of a reinforcement that reacts to torsion stress, which is strongest at this point. Original paper 'Cassina' sticker. All the chairs come from the same original set. Afra Bianchin (1937-2011) and Tobia Scarpa (1935) began their long collaboration in 1957. Starting from 1960, they collaborated with companies like Gavina, B&B Italia, and Cassina. Innovators and unconventional thinkers, they developed numerous projects discovering new ways of mixing different materials and shapes. Their pieces are exhibited in many museums worldwide, such as the MoMa in New York and the Musée du Louvre in Paris. Our atelier carefully restored the chairs. Slight signs of use and time.
