Description

This set of six Monk chairs by Afra and Tobia Scarpa for Molteni combines strong architectural lines with rich natural materials. The solid wood frames and suspended black leather seats create a bold Italian modernist look from the 1970s.

Afra and Tobia Scarpa designed these chairs for Molteni. Their work balances brutalist geometry with refined craftsmanship. The wide wooden legs give the chairs a sculptural presence. The tensioned leather adds softness and comfort.

The monk chairs stand out for their simple construction and honest use of materials. The warm wood tones contrast beautifully with the aged black leather. Over time, both materials have developed a natural patina that adds depth and character.

This set remains fully functional and structurally strong. The chairs work well around a dining table, but also as standalone accent pieces. Their timeless design fits easily in both modern and vintage interiors.

Finding a complete set in original condition is becoming increasingly rare. These Monk chairs Molteni offer both collectible value and everyday usability.

Condition Report

Good vintage condition. The wooden frames show age-appropriate wear, including surface scratches, minor scuffs, and some visible edge wear, particularly on the legs and corners. The original black leather sling seats and backrests show a beautiful natural patina with light creasing, some rubbing along the edges, and minor wear consistent with age and use. Structurally sound and ready for use.
