Afra & Tobia Scarpa “Africa” Dining Chairs for Maxalto, Dark Brown Leather, 1975, Set of 4
Description
Afra & Tobia Scarpa “Africa” dining chairs for Maxalto, dark brown leather, walnut, burl and brass, Italy, 1975, set of four.
Originally hand finished and assembled one-by-one, “Africa” presents a support structure in solid wood with a slender rectangular section. In this model, part of the ‘Artona’ collection, the pattern of thicknesses of the veneers achieves the greatest impact. Beyond the level of the seat, in curved plywood covered with leather, a back takes form with great sculptural force. The perfect correspondence of the curved lines is achieved by making this part out of a single piece of wood, divided and finished in two specular parts.
Our atelier restored the chairs. We offer custom restoration and special reupholstering on request. Contact us to create the object you desire.
