Monk Chair
Price starting from € 2,410.00*
*Price valid for the version with frame in oak - seat and backrest in saddle leather (cod. MSD1).
The Monk chair by Molteni&C, designed by Tobia Scarpa in 1973, is an icon of Italian design that combines formal simplicity and sophisticated material research. The project stems from the idea of reducing the seat to pure geometries, eliminating the superfluous to leave room for the true essence of the design. The solid wood frame houses a seat and backrest crafted from a single curved sheet of wood, upholstered in fabric or leather, ensuring comfort and ergonomics with an extremely clean profile. The Monk chair represents a balance between rigor and warmth, between innovation and traditional craftsmanship, embodying the timeless spirit of Molteni&C and the poetic design of Scarpa.

Designed by
Tobia Scarpa
Tobia Scarpa (1935-), son of the great architect Carlo Scarpa, has managed during his career to be credited with a strong artistic personality and not to remain confined to his father's shadow. He shared his entire sentimental and professional life with his wife Afra Bianchin (1937-2011), whom he met during architecture lessons at the IUAV in Venice, who co-signed with him all of his most important projects. The couple designed their first important projects for the company of Dino Gavina, a great friend of their father, which was later sold to Knoll. At the same time, they were accredited among the very first designers of two young companies born a few years ago and both destined for a great future: B&B Italia and Flos. Over the years other selected collaborations followed with major brands such as Cassina, with which Tobia won the Compasso d'Oro in 1970 for the Soriana sofa, and Molteni & C. Their career as architects was instead strongly linked to the Benetton company, of which they designed the first fabric factory and several shops around the world.Read more
