Designed in the early 1970s by the visionary duo Afra and Tobia Scarpa, the Dialogo chair is a masterclass in quiet complexity. This set of eight exemplifies the pair’s commitment to structural clarity and understated luxury — a dialogue between geometry, material, and human presence.
The sculptural black lacquered frames contrast elegantly with the warm brown leather seats, which show just the right amount of wear to speak of authenticity without distraction. Precision-cut joints, fluid contours, and a balanced tension between line and volume reflect the Scarpas’ architectural sensibility and deep respect for craft.
Produced by B&B Italia — one of the leading lights of Italian design — these chairs are as functional as they are refined. In very good condition, the set offers both comfort and visual rhythm, whether around a dining table or as sculptural objects in a gallery-like interior.
Ideal for a refined dining setting, creative studio, or design-focused interior. Rare to find as a complete set of eight.
