Pair of Tobia Scarpa Oak Bastiano Lounge Chairs
USA, ca. 1970s. A handsome pair of Bastiano lounge chairs designed by Tobia Scarpa for Knoll. Featuring a solid white oak frame with plush cushions upholstered in a textured oatmeal fabric, all removable with zippers. A sophisticated, modernist form and extremely comfortable. A perfect pair for any living room or den, or separately placed in a bedroom or guestroom. Each with generous space for relaxing with guests or curling up with a book. Frames and upholstery are both in excellent vintage condition, ready for placement.
Accomplished in his own right, Tobia Scarpa is the son of the noted Italian architect (and national treasure) Carlo Scarpa, who contributed significantly to the advancement of modern architecture and industrial design. With his wife and lifelong design partner, Afra, Tobia continued his father’s sophisticated and innovative work.
Not long after starting their own design studio in Montebelluna, Tobia and Afra originally designed the Bastiano sofa in 1962 for Italian furniture manufacturer Gavina.
