Dialogo Chair - Afra e Tobia Scarpa - B&B Italia
Dialogo Chair by Afra and Tobia Scarpa for B and B Italia, 1970s
Leather and wooden armchair with sculptural lines and a refined Italian presence
The Dialogo Chair by Afra and Tobia Scarpa for B and B Italia is a celebrated 1970s design icon frequently featured in high-end interior magazines. Its architectural silhouette, balanced proportions and warm materiality allow it to integrate seamlessly into modern, minimalist, eclectic and Mediterranean interiors. A true statement piece that quietly elevates any space.
The seat and backrest are crafted in a rich cognac leather with a warm rust tone, showing natural patina and light marks consistent with age and authenticity. The leather catches the light beautifully, highlighting the smooth curvature typical of Scarpa’s work and adding softness to the geometric frame.
The structure is made from natural lacquered ash wood with a pronounced grain pattern in a honey-toned shade. Visible wooden dowels and precise joinery details underline the craftsmanship and construction logic Scarpa is known for. The chair feels solid, grounded and exceptionally well made.
Comfort is upright yet inviting, making it ideal around a dining table, meeting setting or as a sculptural stand-alone accent chair. Condition is very good vintage with light wear on the leather as shown in the detailed photos.
