a dining chair with a sleek, anatomic design, crafted to offer maximum comfort and support to the back. Perfect for classic as well as contemporary interiors, cassina presents, in collaboration with karakter, the chair produced in 1965 on a design by afra and tobia scarpa, based on a sketch by architect and designer maestro carlo, father of tobia. Scarpa 121 is composed of a robust wooden structure that creates a striking contrast with the lightness of the saddle leather-upholstered plywood seat and backrest. The 121 dining chair was designed along with the 925 lounge chair, of the following year. Both are masterful examples of the work of afra and tobia scarpa; they share the same double trestle-style structure with rounded corners. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
