Description
Overview
Sempronia is a chair by Tobia Scarpa that enriches Tacchini's re-editions with a determined and versatile character, able to enhance any table and situation, today just as in the past. It is the work of the Maestro Tobia Scarpa, with paired legs and a seat padded for comfort.
Construction
A wooden frame is padded with one-component polyurethane foam and upholstered in fabric or leather. Its rings are color-coated or polished steel, offered in three finishes.
Specifications
Code 0SEM53 measures 50 x 53 x 80 cm (W x D x H).
Story
Interlocking circles
In Sempronia, circular elements interlock into a double circle that evokes the signature of the Maestro Tobia Scarpa, who designed it. Paired legs, created by the intersection of two cylinders, extend up to the backrest.
A bolder seat
The bold character of the 1980s aesthetic does not forgo comfort. The seat is completely reconfigured and, thanks to the soft padding, even more welcoming.
