Description
Afra & Tobia Scarpa “Carlotta” easy chairs for Cassina, Italy, 1967, set of four.
These eccentric, easy chairs designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa for the 1960s Italian manufacturer Cassina are exemplary pieces of design. Crafted from beech wood, these easy chairs feature an essential execution with visible joints in the legs, which are formed from wooden perfectly entangled, rectangular frames.
The back and seat have woven elastic cord supports, holding cushions. Given their geometric shape and airy structure, their modernist design makes them versatile pieces that can enhance various settings.
The Carlotta chairs have been displayed in various design exhibitions, including notable showings at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, such as the “Recent Acquisitions: Design Collection” exhibitions in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Their timeless appeal has made them popular in high-profile interiors, and they continue to be admired by design enthusiasts and collectors alike.
