The Mastro Chairs by Afra & Tobia Scarpa for Molteni feature brown canvas seats and black steel frames. The design emphasizes clean lines and functional form, characteristic of the Scarpa’s approach. The combination of durable canvas and industrial steel provides both comfort and stability. Suitable for various settings, including dining rooms, offices, and public spaces, these chairs integrate modernist design with practical utility.

The chairs are a more industrial variation on Scarpa their 'Monk' Chair.

Tobia Scarpa (born 1935) and Afra Scarpa (1937–2011) were Italian designers known for their contributions to modernist furniture and architecture. Both studied at the Università Iuav di Venezia, where Tobia was the son of renowned architect Carlo Scarpa. Their work combined traditional materials with industrial production techniques, creating functional and innovative designs. Notable furniture pieces include the Soriana collection for Cassina, the Bastiano sofa for Gavina and the Monk chairs for Molteni. They also designed interiors for companies such as Benetton, applying their clean, modern aesthetic to commercial spaces. Their designs remain influential in contemporary furniture and industrial design.

Condition
The chairs show signs of age and use throughout the frame. One of the chairs has one cap in the front of the chair missing and two caps on the backrest damaged. Additionally the canvas is in tact and shows some signs of wear throughout the seating element, backrest and back of the chair.
