The Monk Armchair was originally designed in 1973 by Afra and Tobia Scarpa for Molteni&C. Reissued as part of the Heritage Collection, it reflects the Scarpa duo’s minimalist yet expressive approach to form and structure. The chair is built with a solid American walnut frame, offered in coffee oak or black oak finishes, paired with a wrapped leather seat and backrest supported by steel tubing.

Its defining feature is the exposed structure, two side frames connected by a suspended seat, anchored with eight visible steel rivets. The result is a clean, monastic silhouette that balances architectural clarity with material richness.
