About the Item
Set of Four Dining Chairs in the Manner of Tobia & Afra Scarpa, Italy, 1970s
A beautifully crafted set of four dining chairs, designed in the refined and sculptural style associated with Tobia & Afra Scarpa, circa 1970s. While unmarked, these chairs embody the understated elegance and architectural balance that defines much of the Scarpa design language.
Each chair is constructed from solid walnut, showcasing rich wood grain, warm coloration, and precise joinery. The seat and backrest are upholstered in black leather, which has developed a fantastic natural patina over the years. This combination of premium materials and clean, curved forms creates a sense of quiet sophistication and timeless appeal.
The chairs feature rounded backs and slightly flared legs, with proportions that offer both visual harmony and ergonomic comfort. The overall design favors thoughtful simplicity, allowing the quality of the materials and the craftsmanship to take center stage. Ideal for dining or as occasional side chairs, they bring a sculptural, modernist presence to any interior setting.
Condition Report:
These chairs are in very good vintage condition. The walnut frames are structurally sound, with only minor surface wear and patina consistent with gentle use over time. The leather upholstery shows natural creasing and wear, with no major damage or tears. The aged finish of both wood and leather enhances their vintage character and authenticity. All joints are tight, and the chairs are ready for immediate use.
A rare and elegant set for collectors, designers, or anyone seeking authentic late-20th century Italian design. Offered as a complete set of four.
