Afra & Tobia Scarpa for B&B Italia, 'Coronado' armchair 1966 Italy

This Brown Leather Coronado Armchair by Tobia Scarpa for B&B Italia is a striking example of 1960s Italian design, combining modernist aesthetics with exceptional comfort. Designed in collaboration with his wife Afra, Scarpa’s Coronado series was one of the first to incorporate cutting-edge polyurethane foam technology, offering both structure and softness. This particular armchair, upholstered in rich brown leather that has aged beautifully, showcases the elegant balance between form and function that defines Scarpa’s work. With its deep seat, generous proportions, and signature metal frame hidden beneath the plush cushioning, the Coronado remains a timeless classic—both inviting and iconic.
