MHC.3 MISS
"Knowing how to build is a debt to technique. Knowing how to give a meaning to things I create is a debt to logic required by the forms." - Tobia Scarpa
Part of the Molteni&C Heritage Collection is a re-make of the Miss chair, designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa in 1986. The form is linked to a system of soft, unbroken, linear rhythms. The legs are slim and divaricated, to ensure stability. The front ones are bent to form the armrests and continue into the curve of the backrest. The
back legs reach the backrest from behind, underpinning it. The seat is inserted between the lines and links them. Tobia Scarpa has re-designed the armrest joint to make the chair comfier and more linear. Structure in natural or black tinted ash, seat in leather or hand woven, ecru or grey, paper cord.
