Scarpa 121 is not just a chair, but a perfect meeting of form and function, of the past and modernity. Designed in 1965 by Afra and Tobia Scarpa, it is born from the essence of solid wood, sculpted with elegance and mastery. The seat and backrest, covered in fine leather, seem to float on the solid structure, creating a balance between lightness and strength. Its design, inspired by a drawing by Carlo Scarpa, brings with it the warmth of traditional craftsmanship and the geometric cleanliness of modern architecture.
