900 €IVA inclusa

Informazioni sull’articolo

Stunning and very rare "Artona 8551" armchair designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa and produced by Maxalto in the early 1980s. The armchair is entirely upholstered in ultra-soft biscuit-colored leather and is in excellent condition. It features intricate stitching reminiscent of vintage luxury car seats. This is an extremely rare version, currently unique on the market, without wheels and without armrests, and with the characteristic open-back cut—an iconic design element typical of the Scarpa duo. A rarer collectible piece than the better-known “Africa” model. Minor signs of age on the leather, as shown in the photos, enhance its authenticity and give it a beautiful, lived-in patina.
