Set of 8 Monk Dining Chairs by Afra & Tobia Scarpa, Italy, 1970s

Beautiful set of eight vintage Monk dining chairs, designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa in Italy during the 1970s. The Monk chair is a wonderful example of Italian modernist design, combining a strong architectural wooden structure with the warmth and flexibility of saddle leather. Each chair features a distinctive geometric frame with broad, rectangular wooden legs and exposed metal fastenings. The seat and backrest are formed from beautifully crafted saddle leather, creating a continuous, gently curved seating surface that contrasts elegantly with the rigid lines of the wooden construction. The entire set has undergone a complete professional restoration. All eight chairs have been newly upholstered in high-quality cognac saddle leather, carefully selected to complement the warm tones of the wooden frames. The wooden structures have also been fully restored, preserving the original character and proportions of the design while giving the chairs a beautiful, refreshed appearance. The combination of rich cognac leather, warm wood and subtle black metal details creates a timeless aesthetic that works beautifully in both contemporary and vintage interiors. All eight chairs are presented in excellent restored condition, with newly upholstered leather seats and backrests and professionally refinished wooden frames. A particularly attractive opportunity to acquire a complete, matching set of eight iconic Italian dining chairs. Dimensions per chair: Width: 52 cm Depth: 50 cm Height: 74 cm Seat height: 44 cm Sold as a complete set of eight chairs.
