A true Mid-Century Modern icon, it reflects the Scarpas’ refined approach to proportion, structure, and material honesty.

The chair’s solid walnut frame supports a curved seat and backrest designed to float elegantly above the structure — a detail that combines architectural precision with tactile comfort.

This rare set of eight chairs has been expertly restored and reupholstered in premium Italian aniline leather in a deep English red, a hue and finish consistent with the original Cassina production from the late 1960s.
Every chair has been carefully refinished to preserve the natural warmth of the walnut and the timeless quality of Italian craftsmanship.

An outstanding example of Italian Mid-Century Modern design, the Model 121 embodies Afra and Tobia Scarpa’s vision of modern elegance through simplicity and material integrity. This piece has an attribution mark,
