Karakter SCARPA 121 Leather chair

The iconic Scarpa 121 dining chair is a straightforward dining chair with a design that can complement both classical and cutting-edge interiors.‎ The design is characterized by a firm and robust wooden frame that creates a striking contrast to the lightness of the seat and back.‎ The seat and back are anatomically shaped in plywood, covered in fine European leather, and attached by bolts to crosspieces along the center for great comfort.‎ Originally inspired by a sketch made by Tobia’s father, Venetian architect and designer, Carlo Scarpa, the 121 came to life with a distinct touch from Afra and Tobia Scarpa in 1965.‎ The 121 Scarpa dining chair was designed alongside the classic 925 Scarpa lounge chair from 1966.‎ The two chairs are a prime example of Afra and Tobia Scarpa’s work and share the same double trestle structure with characteristic rounded joints.‎ Both designs are now a part of the Karakter collection.‎ Material: Frame in solid ash, plastic glides Upholstery: Saddle leather On sale from September 2023 Further info from manufacturer on SCARPA 121 Karakter
