Tobia Scarpa attrib. easy chairs

Pair of easy chairs in the manner of Tobia Scarpa, produced during the 1960s. The frames are executed in rosewood with rich grain patterns that emphasize the geometric and architectural quality of the design. Each chair features a rectilinear structure with broad, solid side panels and open recesses that create a striking interplay between lightness and mass. The deep brown leather cushions rest within the frame, their generous proportions offering both visual balance and comfort.

The dark leather displays natural patina and fine creasing, complementing the warm tone and texture of the rosewood. The cushions are loose and substantial, following the Italian modernist tradition of combining structural precision with soft, organic materials. The craftsmanship reveals careful attention to joinery and proportion, hallmarks of high-quality mid-century production.

The design reflects the influence of Tobia Scarpa’s approach to furniture as both architecture and object, defined by clarity of form and integrity of material. The chairs convey a robust yet elegant presence that aligns with the international modernist aesthetic of the late 1960s, when natural materials and strong geometry characterized much of European furniture design.

The pair remains in good vintage condition, with small signs of wear consistent with age and use. The rosewood retains its natural luster, and the leather has developed a desirable surface character. A matching three-seat sofa in the same design and material is also available.

Dimensions: width 104 cm (40.9 in), depth 75 cm (29.5 in), height 61 cm (24 in), seat height 33 cm (13 in).
