Monk Leather chair

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

Modularity and configurations

The seat and backrest, made of taut leather, rest on two tubular steel elements, resulting in an exceptionally comfortable chair. The solid wood legs are joined in pairs with a visible connection system that reveals the cross joints and creates the iconic silhouette.

Design and craftsmanship

In Scarpa's vision, Monk is a seating piece built from a few carefully crafted parts, joined into a solid, high-quality product. The structure of Monk became a model for later Molteni&C products by Scarpa, and the iconic seating piece returned with slimmer legs in the Mastro chair of 1981.

Monk has a solid wood frame like the original version, available in American walnut, black oak or coffee oak. The seat structure consists of two shaped leather parts for a comfortable seating experience and is available in every colour of the Molteni&C collection. This way, with Monk you bring a timeless design story to your dining table.

Because Monk is available in every colour of the Molteni&C collection, you easily align the chair with the rest of your dining room.
