Tacchini ARTONA Armchair with wooden armrests and leather upholstery

The Artona armchair reaffirms design as a cultural act, unpretentiously showcasing its solid wood structure, which becomes both an expression and a language: strong and authoritative, reliable and durable.‎ Designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa in the mid-1970s, Artona carefully balances rigor and comfort, protection and stability—sensations it conveys through its very presence.‎ The armchair is a micro-architecture of vertical and horizontal planes: two “L”-shaped elements serve as supports and armrests, while the backrest is the sole soft gesture that softens the design’s geometry.‎ The interplay of wooden layers that animates the surfaces reveals refined cabinetmaking craftsmanship and a quality that speaks of time, proportion, and attention to detail.‎
