Description

Carlo Scarpa “1934” dining chairs for Bernini, original leather and walnut, Italy, 1977, set of six.

Initially designed for Scarpa’s own Venetian house in 1934, this model came up to production only in 1977. This chair demonstrates his architectural attitude toward furniture design. The sophisticated and right-angled base contrasts with the backrest essentiality, further enriched by its curvaceous shapes. A remarkable detail is an open cut on the back that diverges at the bottom, resulting in an unusual yet genuine form. Although an apparent disharmonic look is created, these details enhance the chair’s elegance.

We offer custom restoration and special reupholstering on request. Our atelier enhances Italy’s excellence by providing dedicated and tailor-made customization services. Contact us for additional information.
