Africa Chair

Designer Tobia Scarpa
Distributor Stylecraft

Designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa in 1975 and reissued by Tacchini in 2025, Africa is a tribute to the ancient art of cabinetmaking.

The sculptural form, distinctive split backrest and balanced proportions highlight a timeless approach to structure and craftsmanship. Crafted from solid Canaletto Walnut, Africa features a curved upholstered seat and a hand-finished backrest with black inlay detailing. The visible grain and layered woodwork celebrate traditional cabinetmaking techniques.

Ideal for modern interiors, the Africa Chair suits residential living, hospitality settings, and commercial spaces. Its blend of comfort and artisanal design makes it perfect for dining areas, meeting rooms, and lounges.
