Monk Leather easy chair

With Monk, an armchair with a solid wood frame and leather upholstery, designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa, you bring an icon from 1973 back into your interior. This 2025 model from Molteni&C celebrates the reissue of this classic design.

Modularity and configurations

Afra and Tobia Scarpa designed the Monk chair with careful attention to form and finish to highlight the qualities of the materials. The seat and backrest, made of taut leather, rest on two tubular steel elements, resulting in an exceptionally comfortable chair.

Design and craftsmanship

The name Monk evokes the simple, sleek, almost monastic style of the chair and refers to the initial "M" characteristic of Afra and Tobia Scarpa's designs for Molteni&C. In 2025, Molteni&C reissues the iconic Monk chair, retaining its original character, available in American walnut, black oak or coffee oak.

As an armchair, Monk is lower and wider than the chair version, designed to enrich any living space. This way, with Monk you bring home a piece of design history, one that, thanks to its timeless design, you can combine endlessly with both classic and contemporary furniture.

The large burnished steel hubs of Monk are not only functional, but also form a decorative detail that reinforces the chair's iconic character.
