Molteni - MHC.3 Miss chair

A system of lines, a soft and continuous sign, marks the rhythm of Miss, the chair designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa in 1986 that has its roots in the artisan tradition, and whose modernity is recognized even thirty years after its conception.

The shape is brought back to a system of rhythms of lines, with a soft and continuous sign. The legs are thin and spread apart, to acquire stability. The front ones bend to form the armrests and continue in the curve of the backrest. The backs reach the back from behind, to prop it up. The seat fits between the lines and the fittings. Tobia Scarpa has redesigned the armrest joint, to make it more linear and comfortable. Structure in natural ash or black dyed, seat in leather or rope woven in ecru and gray.
