Karakter SCARPA 121 Fabric chair

Scarpa 121 is a dining chair with a solid wood frame and fabric upholstery.‎ Reimagined for the 2025 Salone del Mobile, it now features full fabric upholstery, offering enhanced comfort and a renewed material expression.‎ This iconic chair is defined by its clean, linear design, making it a perfect complement to both classic and contemporary interiors.‎ Its sturdy wooden frame contrasts elegantly with the lightness of the seat and backrest, creating a refined and balanced silhouette.‎ The seat and back are anatomically shaped in plywood, upholstered in premium European leather, and bolted to the central crossbars, ensuring long-lasting comfort and support.‎ Originally inspired by a sketch from Carlo Scarpa—the renowned Venetian architect and father of Tobia—the design was brought to life in 1965 through the bold and elegant vision of Afra and Tobia Scarpa.‎ The Scarpa 121 was conceived alongside the classic Scarpa 925 lounge chair in 1966.‎ Both models showcase the Scarpas’ distinctive approach to design and share the double trestle structure with signature rounded joints.‎ Today, they are part of the Karakter collection.‎ Materials: – Frame: Solid ash wood – Feet: Plastic – Upholstery: Fabric On sale from September 2023 Further info from manufacturer on SCARPA 121 Karakter
