Soriana Chairs by Afra and Tobia Scarpa, a vintage set of leather Soriana just landed at our gallery.

We are delighted to welcome a new addition to our gallery - a set of two stunning vintage Soriana Chairs. Crafted with smooth, soft leather in a deep green hue, these chairs are in excellent condition and still bear their original tags. Ready to be used and enjoyed, these Soriana by Cassina pieces have been acquired from a prominent estate in the USA, and are sure to make a timeless addition to any home.

Tobia Scarpa's Soriana collection was a revolutionary design that was recognized with the prestigious Compasso D'Oro award in 1969. Alongside other iconic Italian designers such as Franco Albini, Achille Castiglioni, and Gio Ponti, Scarpa's design was an expression of encapsulating fabric within a metal frame, creating a unique and unified look. 50 years later, the Soriana collection is still highly sought after, with its lounge chair, medium and large sofas, chaise lounge, and ottoman gracing the homes of some of the world's greatest designers and architects. This timeless design stands as a testament to the power of innovation and creative expression.

Today, the Tobia Scarpa Soriana sofa is no longer in production, but it has been re-editioned, allowing us to appreciate the original ones even more, with their vintage charm and fascinating appeal. Although many of our Soriana sofas and chairs are restored, there are some rare cases where the condition is so great that they can be sold as-is. Such is the case with these Soriana chairs, which were likely recovered with this beautiful leather. It is not difficult to decide between a re-edition and a genuine vintage piece, because the vintage Soriana pieces still hold that timeless appeal, making them a great addition to any home.
