About this vintage design furniture

Pair of armchairs in walnut with inserts in ebonized wood and velvet from the Artona series, designed in 1975 by Afra and Tobia Scarpa for Maxalto, the high-end brand of B&B. Original velvet upholstery. The wooden frame is in very good condition with light signs of use, as is the velvet upholstery. The foam padding shows no particular signs of sagging. The furniture conceived by Afra and Tobia Scarpa quickly established itself as a reference point for Italian design. A collection of fine wooden furniture completely "made in Italy". In the era of plastic, when enthusiasm indicated other avenues of experimentation, the choice of using wood turns out to be counter-current and very daring. Tobia Scarpa gives an imprint to the whole collection: objects made of precious materials, such as wood, treated "piece by piece" and finished by skilful manual work. The search for iconic objects is combined with the desire to create a modern style environment. A style that combines the geometric simplification of shapes with a very refined, almost hidden, quality of construction. All this, recovering - or inventing - craftsmanship techniques.
