Description
Afra & Tobia Scarpa “New Harmony” dining chairs for Maxalto, walnut and ebony, Italy, 1987, set of eight.
The “New Harmony” dining chairs by Afra & Tobia Scarpa, designed for Maxalto in 1987, showcase exceptional craftsmanship. This set of 8 chairs features walnut wood frames and details with ebony filets. The seats are made from red lacquered, multi-layered wood, providing a striking contrast. Afra & Tobia Scarpa’s design process used ancient and rare production techniques typical of fine Italian woodworking and instrument making. This results in a sculptural effect that stands out in luxury interiors. Each chair has a wood structure with a natural lacquered finish for protection. The cylindrical legs, spindles, and broad oval seat and backrest create smooth, oval lines that define the chair’s elegant silhouette. The “new Harmony” chairs embody this legacy, combining technical precision with enduring beauty, making them a sophisticated addition to any dining space.
