DESCRIPTION
It was a continual challenge to bring to fruition the Oscarina chair. It all started on 2 January 2004 with the company closed for the Christmas holiday.
“Are you working today? I’ll be round to see you at two this afternoon”. Question and answer all in one. Tobia Scarpa.
Challenge won, after hundreds of samples, tests, modifications, updates and checks at Catas, with another call from Tobia to the joinery to tell Oscar personally: “I’ve seen the finished chair. You’ve worked a small miracle”. We named it Oscarina because of the passion and hard work put into it by Oscar Merotto, an extraordinary craftsman of our joinery.
Heartwood of ash, bent wood surfaces, flowing shapes, gentle curves, bold joints, little glue, no paint or varnish, the little silver Atanor logo. This is Oscarina.
The chair only tells its full story if observed through the details and turned upside down, where the architect’s magic and the skill of the craftsman become clear.
Oscarina is supplied in natural ash, with the possibility of natural leather upholstery for the seat and backrest.
