Originally designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa for Molteni&C in 1973, the Monk armchair is now showcased in this exclusive re-edition for the Heritage Collection.
“We imagined it as a single piece because it was cheaper. But Angelo Molteni changed the design. ‘No, no,’ he said, ‘we do things properly.’ So, we came up with an iron structure stretched between two identical frames, which made the seat what it is.”
– Tobia Scarpa
Crafted in solid American walnut available in coffee oak or black oak finishing, the chair’s slender frame supports a smooth leather seat and backrest that wraps elegantly around steel tubes, offering a comfortable and supportive sit.
Eight steel rivets secure the frame to the seat in a subtle, decorative finish on this design that evokes a sleek and simple, almost monastic, style.
Tobia Scarpa先生于1935年出生于意大利威尼斯，1969年毕业于威尼斯建筑学院，身兼建筑师和设计师两个头衔。 Tobia Scarpa先生是一位多才多艺且充满好奇心的设计师。在他漫长的职业生涯当中，曾参与了建筑、修复、布景、设计、图形和教学等多方面的工作。 在上世纪六十年代，Tobia Scarpa先生与众多意大利和国际上的知名企业（其中就包括Molteni&C和Unifor）建立了合作关系，开始了自己的工业设计路程。
