Molteni&C Monk Chair Designed by Tobia Scarpa

The Monk chair, an original creation by Tobia Scarpa for Molteni&C, is a 1973 masterpiece now re-proposed in the prestigious Heritage Collection. The essential silhouette enhances the encounter between wood and leather.

The Monk chair, born from the vision of masters Afra and Tobia Scarpa, embodies the fusion of historic design and modern functionality. Thanks to its solid wood frame made of American walnut, available in striking black oak or coffee oak finishes, the chair offers timeless elegance. The seat and backrest, in fine leather available in colours from the Molteni&C collection, are harmoniously integrated with two steel tubes, guaranteeing comfort and support. The legs, slender pillars linked by transverse panels with visible joints, display sophisticated craftsmanship, further enhanced by the eight burnished steel rivets.

The aesthetics of the Monk chair recall an experience that goes beyond pure functionality. Its monastic essence, reflected in its name, goes perfectly with minimalist interiors, where the dialogue between noble materials and iconic design is appreciated.
